6/1
Winner of one of her eight starts over the larger obstacles. Third of four on latest start at Thurles earlier this month beaten over 10L. Overall record casts doubt on her ability to get competitive in this contest.

5/2
Improved for the step up to this trip when getting off the mark at the third time of asking over fences in a Cork beginners contest last month. Daughter of Flemensfirth likely to carry on improving.

3/1
Winner of a Tramore 2m5f hurdle in December, the daughter of Laveron remains one from 11 over fences. Appears to be up against it from a similar mark to that of Deilginis.

3/1
Off the mark for connections at the second attempt over the larger obstacles in October. Beaten in two chase starts since. Worth a check in the market in first-time cheekpieces on stable debut.

9/2
One from seven over fences, ran with credit in a Leopardstown 2m5f handicap chase in December finishing second of 15 beaten 2L on good ground. May need a couple to falter.

Forecasts

Deilginis (5/2), Ask Heather (3/1), Une Lavandiere (3/1), Fiveaftermidnight (9/2), Victoria Bay (6/1)

Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained DEILGINIS can continue her progression in the closing race of the afternoon. The six-year-old can build on an assertive victory at Cork last month to land the spoils on handicap debut ahead of Ask Heather who makes her stable debut here in first-time cheekpieces. Une Lavandiere for trainer Henry De Bromhead and Fiveaftermidnight can compete for remaining prize money.
  1. Deilginis
  2. Ask Heather
  3. Une Lavandiere
