Boro Tari²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr B Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

20/1

50/1 on recent debut at Cork and although ultimately finishing in midfield showed something and the drop down in trip from 2m3f may also help.

Form: 8-

Darrens Diamond²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: R Murphy

8/1

Huge improvement on previous form when runner up at 50/1 over hurdles last time. Connections now return her to Bumper where to date she hasn't shown much.

Form: D8/8P2-

Gise Girl⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: E F Gallagher

20/1

Signs of greenness on Clonmel debut recently when sent off 100/1 but finished midfield. Can be expected to do better.

Form: 7/6-

Gragara Tara²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N Bashford⁽⁷⁾| T: P Meany

66/1

Big prices and not much to show for five previous runs in such events and readily passed over.

Form: 9007/0-

Highstreet Roller^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: T Gibney

20/1

Sold for £20,000 after a good ground Point-to-point win last summer. 20/1 when sixth of eight on Bumper run in November and not seen since.

Form: 16-

Jelara³²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

8/1

Unraced dam is a half-sister to top class Jezki. 10L third of eight on only start in a Bumper last summer. Must be capable of better and absence since suggest there may have been a problem.

Form: 3-

Molly Wedger²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: Dermot P O'Brien

25/1

Should improve for her recent debut at Tramore when midfield in heavy ground.

Form: 6-

Shelton Abbess

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: Edward P Mitchell

66/1

Fourth foal. Half-sister to 1m winner Luddenmore. Debut here and only of interest if market in her favour.

Form:

Shuil Le Cheile¹¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R O Harding⁽⁵⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

66/1

Hasn't shown much when completing in Point-to-points though evidently thought capable of better judged on his price on debut.

Form: F8PP-

Sunndans²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Feeney⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Callaghan

5/1

100/1 on recent debut in similar event here but ran really well when 11L third in a big field. That probably is the best form on offer and she should have more to come.

Form: 3-

Chelseas Friend²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan

33/1

Has failed to complete the course in four Point-to-points. Now makes debut under rules.

Form: FFFFUU-

Conquering Tara

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kennedy

66/1

First foal of a a dam who never made it to the track.

Form:

Desert Maid

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Turlough O'connor⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Connor

25/1

Third foal of an unraced dam. Market should guide on this racecourse debut.

Form:

Lost Oscar

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Peter Fahey

6/4

Fifth foal. Half-sister to winners For Non Stop and The Linksman. comes from a yard with a good record in these events and eye catching jockey booking. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Majestic Maid

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kennedy

66/1

First foal. Dam was a winner over fences and hurdles from 2m to 2m4f. Interesting to see what the market makes of her chances.

Form:

Mashell

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr T J Love⁽⁷⁾| T: W Ross

66/1

Dam never made it to the track. Is a half-sister to winning hurdler Massini Lotto.

Form:

Westernerona²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: G J Power

11/2

Similar level of form in two maiden hurdles when making the frame each time. Bumper debut today but clearly has ability so one to take seriously.

Form: 23-

Yeats Joy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

50/1

First foal of a dam who was a maiden on the Flat. Yard have winners in this department so one to monitor in market.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Lost Oscar (6/4), Sunndans (5/1), Westernerona (11/2), Jelara (8/1), Darrens Diamond (8/1), Boro Tari (20/1), Gise Girl (20/1), Highstreet Roller (20/1), Molly Wedger (25/1), Desert Maid (25/1), Lucy Van Pelt (25/1), Chelseas Friend (33/1), Yeats Joy (50/1), Conquering Tara (66/1), Gragara Tara (66/1), Shuil Le Cheile (66/1), Majestic Maid (66/1), Mashell (66/1), Shelton Abbess (66/1)

Plenty of guesswork in the finale but from a yard that do well in this division, LOST OSCAR makes appeal on paper and gets a narrow vote. The hurdling form of Westernerona makes her of interest while Sunndans showed ability on recent debut and can hit the frame.
