Owenacurra Lass¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr M J Sweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| OR: 108| BF

6/5

Returns to hurdling after a disappointing run on the Flat. Had useful bumper form before being placed twice over hurdles. Certainly one to consider.

Blossomfort Trish⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: E M O'Sullivan

28/1

Moderate point-to-point form and seems an unlikely type to make an immediate impression under Rules. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: PP55FF-

Delightful Guest⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D F O'Regan| T: J Motherway

66/1

Just one finish from three start over hurdles when she was unfancied and beaten 58L on soft ground at Navan. No real sign she will improve on previous efforts.

Form: PP/0-

Dona Katharina²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

4/1

Some fair bumper form in the past but reappearance run at Fairyhouse was disappointing suggesting she may struggle her on her hurdling debut unless the market speaks in her favour.

Fiveaftermidnight²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 109

4/1

Three times a runner-up in this sphere from five attempts last year. Ran with promise last time having previously struggled on heavy ground at Wexford; could have a say here.

Form: 2/282P5-

Mal De Mer¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith

40/1

Not disgraced on debut at Down Royal, but was beaten out of sight at Fairyhouse and Punchestown on her latest runs in bumpers. Others make much more appeal on hurdling debut

Form: 40-0

That's My Dubai²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: B J Cooper| T: J R Barry

20/1

Ran worryingly badly on her reappearance in a bumper latest. Has a squeak based on some of her best bumper form but others preferred.

Form: 52420-

Urban Waltz^p1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Gunn

33/1

Still a maiden point-to-pointer whose form is moderate at best. Best watched on her Rules debut in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 653344-

Wetbehindtheears²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Bennett

6/1

By Flemensfirth out of an Old Vic mare. Winner of two of her six point-to-point starts, but uncompetitive last month at Limerick in hurdling introduction. Better effort last time out and has place claims.

Form: 21P/164-

Whatsdastory²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: Ms Debbie Hartnett

33/1

Average at best point-to-point form and seems an unlikely type to make an immediate impression under Rules unless the market speaks in her favour.

Form: 1P3F22-

Minx Tiara¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: D M O'Brien

33/1

Decent effort when finishing third over 3m in a point-to-point at Durrow (soft-to-heavy) on debut in March. Tailed off last time at Wexford having previously shaped with promise at Tramore. More needed.

Forecasts

Owenacurra Lass (6/5), Fiveaftermidnight (4/1), Dona Katharina (4/1), Wetbehindtheears (6/1), That's My Dubai (20/1), Blossomfort Trish (28/1), Whatsdastory (33/1), Minx Tiara (33/1), Urban Waltz (33/1), Mal De Mer (40/1), Delightful Guest (66/1)

OWENACURRA LASS looks the form pick here against some unknown quantities and inconsistent types. Fiveaftermidnight has form which could see her run well while best of the best looks to be That's My Dubai if she can put a disappointing run last time out behind her.
