Capture The Action^p1⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan

5/1

Winner of a point-to-point in February but previous bumper form leaves a lot to be desired; cheekpieces added back in this sphere.

Form: P4-PF1

Celine Soprano^t1⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Cronin

20/1

Struggled in sole bumper outing at Galway in the autumn, respectable efforts in all three point-to-point starts (third each time) but needs to find more with tongue-tie tried now.

Form: 3-633

Darrens Hope²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Darragh Allen⁽⁷⁾| T: R Murphy

9/2

Closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser Acting Lass and has a recent win in a point-to-point to boost confidence ahead of this rules debut. Worth a look in betting.

Form: 4-41

Dime A Dozen²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon

3/1

Comes here off the back of successive wins in point-to-points (2-4 all told) and well worth a look for Shark Hanlon with positive jockey booking.

For Rita²²

33/1

Hasn't shown enough in trio of outings in maiden point-to-points to warrant support for this bumper introduction.

Form: 4P4

Monty's Mission⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan

4/1

Filly by Arctic Cosmos out of a Presenting mare. Pulled up in maiden hurdle here a year ago (33-1) but comes back having twice scored in point-to-points lately and looks a leading player.

Form: P-2211

Quarry Lil⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Flynn

12/1

Won maiden point in February on debut and since followed up with sound effort in third; makes rules debut and entitled to be considered for this.

Form: 13

Little Token³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr S J P Baragry⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Keeffe

9/2

Milan filly, plenty going for her on pedigree and won a mares' maiden point on debut last month before joining this trainer, betting will be informative.

Forecasts

Dime A Dozen (3/1), Atlantic Fairy (7/2), Monty's Mission (4/1), Darrens Hope (9/2), Little Token (9/2), Capture The Action (5/1), My Newbrook Rose (11/2), Nell's Well (8/1), Quarry Lil (12/1), Celine Soprano (20/1), For Rita (33/1)

Monty's Mission was pulled up over hurdles here last year on sole start under rules but now returns having twice scored in point-to-points lately, ensuring she goes on any shortlist. Henry De Bromhead's rules newcomer Atlantic Fairy is likely to be strong in the betting while any confidence behind Nell's Well could prove noteworthy. DIME A DOZEN has shaped nicely in two recent point-to-point successes and merits a chance with a positive jockey booking for this rules debut.
