Arbor Vitae¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

9/1

Took a step forward when second in a similar event over 2m4f at Fairyhouse latest (heavy). Winner that day Moyode Gold goes in the 12:55. Sound each-way claims now.

Form: 8U872

Gills Pet²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly

10/1

Pulled up on hurdling debut in a Wexford 2m4f maiden but much more like it over 2m1f at Clonmel latest when third beaten 13L on heavy ground. Can improve further so is respected here.

Form: PP1P/P-3

Immortality^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

3/1

Point winner made an underwhelming hurdles debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but she should improve plenty considering her powerful connections.

Form: P-17

Inneen Oscar³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett| T: Robert Widger

100/1

Two underwhelming runs last month suggest her best watched again here.

Form: 00

Miss Cedille²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

7/2

Placed in four of her eight bumpers without success. Bred to jump a hurdle so not one to forget here and market support would be noted.

Form: 4023-35

Seangoell³³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee

50/1

Down the field twice in as many starts in 2018 and surely best watched here after a long absence.

Form: 7921-

The Dreams Alive³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin

100/1

Beneficial mare 13th of 17 at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and best watched after that effort.

Form: 0

Ciara's Treasure³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Sullivan

100/1

May be better served in handicaps now based on three poor efforts over hurdles. Best watched until then.

Form: 8490

Coosan Clover¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Hanlon

16/1

Just behind Arbor Vitae when third to Moyode Gold latest but given it was her hurdles debut she could easily turn the tables. Live contender today.

Form: 683403

Fresh Appeal⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: Ms M Duggan

33/1

Half-brother to useful Fox Appeal won second point-to-point at Boulta and is one to note here in the market first time under Rules.

Form: 61

Golden Ode^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Walsh

100/1

Daughter of Ask out of a Snurge mare. Dam unraced under rules. Possibly best watched on debut unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

Form:

La Feline³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan

5/2

16/1 second here latest in a similar contest over 2m3f a major step forward in her fourth start. Now one to consider for sure.

Form: 70-02

Lisavalley Lass⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey

33/1

66/1 and ran accordingly on debut at Navan. Remains a watching brief.

Form: 8

Little Token³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mike O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Keeffe

13/2

Reserve- Signs of promise here latest when a 24L fourth to useful Mare Colreevy over 2m4f. This weaker so each-way claims if getting in.

Form: 17-44

Non-Runners

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

T: P J Rothwell J: Reserve 1

Forecasts

La Feline (5/2), Immortality (3/1), Miss Cedille (7/2), Little Token (13/2), Arbor Vitae (9/1), Gills Pet (10/1), Coosan Clover (16/1), Fresh Appeal (33/1), Lisavalley Lass (33/1), Seangoell (50/1), The Dreams Alive (100/1), Miss Anfield (100/1), Golden Ode (100/1), Ciara's Treasure (100/1), Inneen Oscar (100/1)

In a more wide-open contest than the first division closely matched duo COOSAN CLOVER and Arbor Vitae may hold the key with the former taken to turn the tables today given she was making her hurdles debut last time. Others with sound claims include La Feline and Gills Pet.
