Decent 14L fourth in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (good-to-yielding) just under a month ago. Represents a top yard and is interesting with further improvement likely.

100/1

Well held in a couple of bumpers and it was a similar story on first completed hurdles start at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) last time out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 79/U0

20 race maiden under all codes and was beaten 46L off a mark of 85 on handicap debut at Tipperary (3m, good) earlier this. Probably best watched down in trip.

100/1

Pulled up three times in point-to-points but fared better when 33L ninth in a big field maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) on Rules debut last month. More needed here however.

50/1

Promising 22L fifth in an 18 runner 2m4f maiden event at Tipperary (good) on hurdles debut recently. Remains open to improvement and is worth a check in the market in this contest.

25/1

11 race maiden showed ability in small field beginners chases last autumn. Also placed over hurdles at Listowel (2m, yielding-to-soft) in September and is a notable runner despite finishing well held over fences at Wexford (2m, yielding) in April.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

6/4

Good 1L third in a Sligo (2m2f, good) bumper on debut last August and off the mark at the second attempt in that sphere when winning by a head at Clonmel (good-to-yielding) the following month. One for the shortlist on hurdles debut.

Form: 31-

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Miss E Doyle

12/1

Good second in a similar race to this over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) just over a month ago. Represents shrewd connections and is of interest in this event.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: D J Ryan

66/1

Point-to-point winner over 3m on good ground last November. Struggled in a winners race next time out however and others hold stronger claims.

40/1

Signs of ability when beaten 16L into eighth in a mares maiden hurdle over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) on debut last month. Interesting with improvement likely.

Form: 8

City Ballerina^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: P D Kennedy| T: Mrs J Harrington

5/1

12 race maiden finished a good third over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) last time out. Hails from a leading stable and looks likely to play a leading role.

Form: U3

Fake Media^h1³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald

Eight race maiden has fallen on her last two starts over hurdles. Others hold stronger claims with hood tried for the first time.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton

14/1

Run well in a couple of bumpers so far most notably when runner-up over 2m at Tramore (good) on debut early last month. Worth a check in the market on hurdling bow.

Forecasts

Kerry Star (6/4), Karannelle (7/2), City Ballerina (5/1), Ballydunblaze (6/1), Patriciadplasterer (12/1), Lets Go Again (14/1), Indian Music (25/1), Be Yourself (33/1), As High Say (40/1), Icostnothing (50/1), Long Island Jenn (50/1), Intermedia (50/1), Remember Jack (66/1), Gameasapebble (100/1), Fake Media (100/1), Career Guide (100/1), Goodnightmare (100/1), Gerrys Gem (100/1)

PATRICIADPLASTERER and City Ballerina are closely matched on their running in a similar race to this at Punchestown last month and preference is for the former to confirm form having finished runner-up on that occasion. The pair look capable of fighting out the finish here while hurdling newcomer Kerry Star, who was a bumper winner last year can finish third.
