Ar Eagla Na Heagla¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: Francis Casey

16/1

Won on the Flat on opening start of the year at Leopardstown (1m5f). Struggled last time over hurdles when fifth of six at Killarney (2m1f). Up in trip on what is her opening appearance over fences. One to watch.

Form: 39100-5

Darling Miss^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott

7/2

Has been in fantastic form over hurdles this season with three wins and two second place finishes from her last five starts. She was second of 13 on her chase debut over this C&D last time. Leading player.

Form: 211122

Grey Waters⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 116

3/1

Showed a lot of promise last season over fences, with the pick of her form being her second place finish in a Grade 2 contest at Thurles (2m4½f). Has been pulled-up on her last two chase appearances. Good enough to bounce back.

Form: 5222-PP

Isle Of Destiny^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 114

9/2

Has gone close on both of her two attempts over fences so far. She was second of 11 on her debut at Downpatrick (2m7½f), while she was then third of 13 over this C&D last time. Another good account of herself can be expected.

Form: 185-423

Madaboy Cross⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: T P O'Connor

33/1

Broke her maiden over hurdles at Tipperary (2m4f) back in May but has been disappointing in her three runs since then, including latest at Downpatrick (2m5½f) when 10th of 13. First run over fences so one to watch for now.

Form: 76-1560

Presentingprincess^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett| T: Mrs D A Love| D

9/2

Has had two runs over fences now. Was eighth of 13 here over this C&D on debut and then improved to finish fourth of 11 on latest start at Kilbeggan (2m6f). Likely to be open to further improvement so has each-way claims.

Form: P-53384

Robin On The Hill^h⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: A Fogarty

12/1

Had success over hurdles at Punchestown (2m4f) back in January. Has yet to shine over fences in her two starts though. Was seventh of 16 at Limerick on her debut, while she unseated her rider on her last run at Galway (2m2f). Hard to fancy.

Form: 5170-7U

Sunrise Lady²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

11/2

Has been well held of her two chase starts so far but more can be expected from her as she was quite useful over hurdles, with success coming three starts back at Cork (2m3f). Each-way chance with experience under her belt now.

Form: 420-146

Forecasts

Grey Waters (3/1), Darling Miss (7/2), Presentingprincess (9/2), Isle Of Destiny (9/2), Sunrise Lady (11/2), Robin On The Hill (12/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (16/1), Undefined Beauty (20/1), Madaboy Cross (33/1)

DARLING MISS was in fantastic form over hurdles before switching to fences over this C&D where she made a very promising start, finishing second of 13. She should come on for that experience, therefore, take her to record her opening chase success here and continue her excellent season. Isle Of Destiny has hit the frame on both of her two chase starts so far and should go close again over the same C&D as her last run, while Grey Waters should not be discounted despite her form being way below her best recently.
