Mam Trasna³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| BF| D

6/4

Made £95,000 after winning at Kelso in January. Finished fifth of seven beaten 7¼L on stable debut atb Perth when last seen in April. Improvement would not come as a surprise.

Aunty Audrey^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 97

10/1

Five-race maiden hurdler ran well in defeat to finish third of nine beaten 8L at Wexford last month. It looks only a matter of time before the Zoffany mare gets off the mark.

Form: 8907-3

Ballymac Boy²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T N Brett⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

66/1

Poor in both point-to-point starts and each outing under rules including a 24L defeat at Down Royal last month over 2m½f. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 4F-00

Chef Afef⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: H De Bromhead

3/1

Made his belated appearance on the Flat in April when well beaten at Gowran Park before two more heavy defeats. Not disgraced in a couple of defeats over hurdles before the end of the year. Worth a market check.

Form: 6427-

Dunbar¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: E Doyle

8/1

Plenty to like about the Lord Du Sud geldings third of 11 beaten 3L over C&D last month. Repeat of that form should see him in the hunt for more prize money.

Form: P/578-3

Future Monarch^t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

7/2

By Lord Of England out of a German mare related to an Italian Group 1 winner. Improved to finish fourth of 11 beaten 11L at Sligo when last seen in April over 2m4f. Drop back in trip expected to suit.

Form: 0-4

Spring Well³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C R King| T: S Slevin

33/1

More recently seen scrapping for place money in a number of point-to-points starts since last March. Career best on latest start in April and probably best watched on rules debut.

Form: P/P3F6-2

Burlesque Queen²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

25/1

Daughter of Gold Well out of a Beneficial mare. Fourth of seven beaten 15L on racecourse debut at Cork last month. Capable of improvement and one to keep tabs on in the market.

Form: 4

Do Ya Feel Lucky¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: D H Kelly

14/1

Daughter of Aizavoski out of a Topanoora mare. Promising run on debut to finish third of eight at Punchestown over a similar trip last month. Could be of interest being open to improvement.

Form: 5-P3

Flame Of Hope^t1⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: P E Corbett| T: S R B Crawford

66/1

Ran twice on the flat finishing fourth in each before being completely tailed off over hurdles last month at Fairyhouse. May improve but not enough to get involved.

Form: 0-

That's My Dubai¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: J R Barry

50/1

Nothing of note in a number of poor bumper efforts since August and beaten out of sight on hurdling debut at Killarney over 2m6f last month. Drops in trip but looks up against it here.

Forecasts

Mam Trasna (6/4), Chef Afef (3/1), Future Monarch (7/2), Dunbar (8/1), Aunty Audrey (10/1), Do Ya Feel Lucky (14/1), Burlesque Queen (25/1), Spring Well (33/1), That's My Dubai (50/1), Arcadian Sunrise (50/1), Flame Of Hope (66/1), Ballymac Boy (66/1)

Wide open contest to start proceedings can go the way of MAM TRASNA. The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old can be expected to be well prepped for hurdling debut and can get the better of the Eoin Doyle-trained, Dunbar. Future Monarch for the Willie Mullins yard and Henry De Bromhead's, Chef Afef should not be easily discounted.
