5/2

Foxtrot Liv⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W J Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 102| BF

4/7

Winner of one of her six starts, hitting the frame on a further three occasions. May have needed the run on recent return and a major player dropping in to auction company.

Harriet's Force^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K H Clarke| OR: 88| D

12/1

Highly tried when well beaten in group and Listed company last month. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement but not easily dismissed in small field.

Form: 0841-99

(4)

Lafayette Hill^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T M Walsh| OR: 77| D

14/1

Winner over this trip on the AW at Dundalk in December but remains a four-race maiden on turf. Tough ask and possibly best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form: 731-545

(1)

Lighthouse Lady³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ronan Whelan| T: E Kent

16/1

Daughter of Helmut out of an In The Wings mare. Out-ran her odds of 100/1 finishing third of 15 beaten 2½L in a Cork maiden over an extended 1m. Needs to retain that sort of form to play a role here.

Form: 0-3

Forecasts

Foxtrot Liv (4/7), Cnoc An Oir (5/2), Harriet's Force (12/1), Lafayette Hill (14/1), Lighthouse Lady (16/1)

FOXTROT LIV has found herself up against it a little in Group and Listed company, but the daughter of Foxwedge can add to her win at the Curragh last year in this easier contest at the expense of the Joseph O'Brien-trained Cnoc An Oir. Harriet's Force, in first time hood doesn't look up to bothering the main protagonists but more than capable of picking prize money up for third.
