Bitofalright¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr C Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Croke

14/1

Daughter of Robin Des Champs out of a Alflora mare. Dam was a 2m4f winner over hurdles, half-sister to 3m1f chase victor The Tin Miner. Point-to-point winner last month worth a check in the market.

Form: 1

Capture The Action^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S J P Baragry⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan

14/1

Winner of a point-to-point in February but previous bumper form leaves a lot to be desired. Fourth of eight in a Cork bumper last month but more needed here.

Form: P4/PF14-

Costly Diamond¹⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Kelly

8/1

£80,000 4-y-o half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Lizzies Champ . Won a maiden point-to-point in November 2018, and clearly has ability and the Mahler mare is entitled to make the shortlist here.

Form: P1-

Dime A Dozen¹⁷

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

7/1

Won a couple of back-to-back point-to-point starts this year before finishing a respectable third of eight in a Cork bumper last month, ahead of a couple of these. Place claims once again.

Form: 211113-

Fort Worth Texas¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bowe

4/1

Daughter of Gold Well out of a Shantou mare. Closely related to Blunder Buss winner of a 2m3f hurdle. Solid and consistent form in a number of point-to-point starts this year and one of the more likely types.

Form: 12112-1

Fox Creek^h1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: W F Treacy

25/1

By Arcadio out of a Anshan mare. Half-sister to useful bumper winner Billionaire. Fourth of nine well beaten 13L in a recent point-to-point start and unlikely to play a part in first-time hood.

Form: F-4

Maine Danger^h1,t1¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin

28/1

By Whitemore's Conn and a half-sister to dual winner The Mulcare Rover. Fifth of 10 beaten 54L in a Downpatrick bumper last August and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Form: 5P32F-

Nell's Well¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: S O O'Brien

4/1

Gold Well mare, scored first time out in mares' maiden point on debut in January. Interesting to see how market judges here on rules bow.

Form: 1-

Tokyo Getaway¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G P Cromwell

9/4

Daughter of Getaway out of a Anshan mare. Runner up in a point-to-point in December before landing a similar contest last month. Leading player for Champion hurdle winning yard and notable jockey engagement.

Form: 521-

Forecasts

Tokyo Getaway (9/4), Fort Worth Texas (4/1), Nell's Well (4/1), Celine Soprano (13/2), Dime A Dozen (7/1), Costly Diamond (8/1), Bitofalright (14/1), Capture The Action (14/1), Kalli's Quest (14/1), Monty's Mission (14/1), Fox Creek (25/1), Maine Danger (28/1)

It's hard to ignore the chances of TOKYO GETAWAY following a decent point-to-point win last month, subsequent £30,000 price tag at the recent Cheltenham sales and the booking of Jamie Codd. The mare representing the Champion hurdle winning yard of Gavin Cromwell can see off the potential attentions of Fort Worth Texas on debut for Colin Bowe and Fox Creek, the booking of jockey Derek O'Connor.
