Daughter of Lord Of England out of a Singspiel mare. Beaten 81L on last month's debut and would not be good enough based on that.
Beat Hollow newcomer closely related to smart hurdler and bumper winner Champ. Hails from a top yard with a 5-16 record in bumpers here since 2014.
Has been well supported on all starts but questions to answer over his trip unless there is plenty of rain. Yard just 1-26 in bumpers this season.
Mare by Ask out of a well-related mare. Stable going through a quiet spell and others have stronger claims.
Bought for £70,000 at the Cheltenham sales in December after she won a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm. Travelled strongly for a long way on her hurdles debut before finding a more experienced rival too strong and the one to beat here.
Landed a modest point-to-point in February and beaten 50L in a Down Royal bumper on rules debut. Others have achieved better.
Sister to the smart Simonsig and three other bumper winners. Dam also won a bumper so there is a tradition to be upheld. Looked in need of the run on her debut and the jockey booking here looks highly significant.
Cost €10,000 as a yearling. Dam was a winner over 2m2f over hurdles and is a half-sister to smart hurdler What A Question. Last of nine on her debut so plenty to find.
Presenting mare out of a bumper winner from the family of Stayers Hurdle winner Shuil Ar Aghhaidh. Has shown some promise on both starts which have come 17 months apart so interesting to see what she does with the benefit of a run.
€52,000 purchase by Oscar out of a French Flat winner. Looked green on debut when staying on to take second when three of the first four were previous winners. Strong contender on that form with significant improvement likely.
Sister to winning hurdler and chaser Killer Miller. Highly tried here but yard having a good season in bumpers (14-61).
Trainer sent out this mare's full-brother Le Vent D'Antan to land a gamble on his bumper debut before going on to better things. Obviously one to note in the market.
Flat-bred mare has been soundly beaten on both starts and this looks an above-average mares bumper for the track.
Well beaten in two bumpers and pulled up on hurdling debut. Out of her depth in this company if utilised as first reserve.

Mount Ida (13/8), Drury (11/4), Valentina Lady (9/2), Lady Loretto (8/1), Simonsfleur (8/1), Uisce Solas (11/1), Miss Cognac (16/1), Belle Sassie (16/1), Tina's Girl (20/1), Embracincurvacious (25/1), Tritonix (50/1), Still Haventaclue (50/1), Miss Rossie (66/1), The Girl That Sang (66/1), Rubiana (66/1), Purple Polly (66/1), Allure Of Light (100/1)
Lots of good form represented here with Valentina Lady having been surrounded by previous winners on her debut and Uisce Solas showing definite promise on both starts. Willie Mullins saddles an attractively bred newcomer in Drury. This may well be fought out between Jamie Codd and Derek O'Connor on MOUNT IDA and Simonsfleur respectively. The latter is bred to win a race like this and like many of her trainer's horses can be expected to improve greatly for an initial run. The selection showed a high cruising speed on her hurdling debut and looked a useful mare when landing her point-to-point. There are some nice sorts in opposition but she sets a decent standard.
- Mount Ida
- Simonsfleur
- Drury
