Amber Wings³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P McNeilly⁽⁷⁾| T: R McNeilly

50/1

Has struggled in her four attempts on the track so far, including her latest effort at Navan (2m) where she was seventh of 11 after starting at 66/1. Needs to take a big step forward on what she has shown to date.

Form: 6/97-7

Cornhill Lass⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: G P Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

25/1

Was tailed off on her debut at Naas (2m) but was much better last time when she came back third of 11 at Thurles (2m). Is stepping up in trip now where she is open to improvement. Has each-way claims.

Form: 03

Don't Tell Jacqui

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

66/1

Kalanisi mare who is a half-sister to Little Chip who was useful but temperamental as a chaser. Market likely to speak volumes about her chances of success on her opening appearance on the track.

Form:

Elizabeth J⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J E Kiely

8/1

Finished fifth of 17 on her debut at Tipperary (2m4f), albeit 51L off the winner. Faded in the closing stages last time so this new trip may suit her better. Will need to improve so others are preferred.

Form: 6

Goatitagain

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr C W McCormack⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas Coyle

100/1

Flemensfirth mare who cost €10,000 as a three-year-old. Her dam was a bumper winner who is a half-sister to bumper Blue Ride who also prevailed in a bumper. Best to watch on her opening outing here.

Form:

Highstreet Roller^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N McParlan⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney

66/1

Point-to-point winner who has struggled under Rules in five appearances. She featured for the first time over hurdles on her latest outing at Clonmel (2m½f) when she was 10th of 18. Needs to improve.

Form: 16-0070

Immortality^t1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

11/4

Scored in a point-to-point at Moig South (3m) where she justified going off as the 4/5 favourite. Representing a powerful yard here. Will wear a tongue-tie for the first time. Leading contender.

Form: P-1

Krickett³²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Austin

66/1

Has been tailed off on both of her two appearances. Her latest start on the track came at Thurles (2m) where she came back 13th of 18. Hard to make a case for on what she has shown so far.

Form: 00-

Mal De Mer^p1⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr K M Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Smith

33/1

Is 0-5 on the track in her debut year. She was well beaten last time at Navan (2m4f) when she was 13th of 18 as a 100/1 shot. Will wear cheekpieces for the first time. Others appeal much more.

Form: 40-090

Miss Sophiea^h1²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M K Tobin⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curling

40/1

Was in with a chance when she fell two fences from home on her start in a point-to-point at Dawstown (3m). Makes her Rules debut in a bumper here so there are no concerns about any jumping. Wears a hood for the first time. One to think about.

Form: F

The Dreams Alive

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin

66/1

Beneficial mare who is a sister to Whatdreamsrmadeof who won over hurdles at 2m but also stayed at trips up to 3m. Likely to be better once she appears over obstacles. Others are preferred.

Form:

Coosan Clover¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon

20/1

Is a maiden after four starts, however, she has shown some promise, particularly when she was third of seven at Downpatrick (2m3f), beaten by just ½L. Worth consideration on her latest start.

Form: 6834

Jeremys Jewel

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: P Nolan

5/1

Jeremy filly who cost €12,500 as a three-year-old. She is a half-sister to Famous Day who prevailed over 2m6f over hurdles but also stayed up to 3m. Keep an eye out for any strong market confidence on her debut.

Form:

Moonlight Symphony

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Treacy

66/1

Mahler filly who cost €3,000 as a three-year-old. Her dam won at trips between 2m-2m4f over hurdles and also prevailed on the Flat (1m4½f). Best to watch on her first start on the racecourse.

Form:

More Info^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D Skehan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

5/1

Has hit the frame on all four of her starts so far but has yet to record success. She was third of 11 in a bumper at Fairyhouse (2m) last time out. Will wear cheekpieces for the first time here. One for the shortlist.

Form: 3223

Purple Mountain

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

5/2

Beat Hollow filly whose dam was a bumper winner and is a half-sister to useful hurdle winner Blackstairmountain. Represents a leading yard so commands a lot of respect on her first start.

Form:

Shes Some Doll¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: Anthony Curran

20/1

Was well held on her debut at this course (2m) on her first start. Improved to finish fourth 11 last time at Fairyhouse (2m). Stepping up in trip. Will need to produce more again to be in the mix.

Forecasts

Purple Mountain (5/2), Immortality (11/4), Jeremys Jewel (5/1), More Info (5/1), Elizabeth J (8/1), Patty D (14/1), Shes Some Doll (20/1), Coosan Clover (20/1), Nell's Well (20/1), Cornhill Lass (25/1), Mal De Mer (33/1), Miss Sophiea (40/1), Amber Wings (50/1), Highstreet Roller (66/1), Moonlight Symphony (66/1), Krickett (66/1), The Dreams Alive (66/1), Don't Tell Jacqui (66/1), Goatitagain (100/1)

IMMORTALITY is a bumper winner who should be taken to have success at the first attempt under Rules from this leading yard who are in form. The jockey booking is a big boost, while she is from a strong family. Purple Mountain is another obvious newcomer who must be fancied to run a big race, while More Info has the benefit of experience and can once again finish in the placings to continue the consistent start to her career.
