Gradually progressive in bumpers, getting off the mark when beating Grumpy McGrumpface at Ayr; headgear applied for first time on hurdles debut; check market.
Occasionally shows a little bit of form but not enough to suggest she will be winning any time soon; had a fair opportunity in a weak field last time and fluffed her lines.
Pedigree reads better than her form so far which consists of three rather modest hurdles runs; very much looks one for the longer term; needs to jump far better.
Cheaply bought Flat-bred mare; unlikely to be good enough on debut unless market speaks highly of her.
Not much to shout about in a couple of bumper starts before a desolate effort on hurdling debut at last March; slight improvement when last seen out in June and this looks a tough assignment after absence.
Sister to fair 2m5f hurdle winner Loveherandleaveher; did not show much in two bumper starts but raced prominently and with promise on only hurdles appearance here a few weeks ago; entitled to improve and has better chance than most.
Three mile point winner left quite ordinary bumper form behind when placed at Tipperary before finishing runner-up at Punchestown in June; holds a good chance if fit after long time away from track.
Daughter of Jeremy out of a half-sister to top class hurdler Our Conor; facile winner of a 14-runner bumper at Limerick in late 2018; last seen in December on hurdles debut where she showed plenty of promise; one for the shortlist.
Daughter of Mahler out of a Gold Well mare; nothing to be too positive about following debut run here earlier this month finishing 12th of the 20 runners.
Showed some ability on point-to-points back in 2018; returned this year to contest bumpers at Down Royal and Gowran Park but disappointed on both occasions.
Made one hurdles appearance to little effect many moons ago and has since been racing with little success on the Flat; difficult to make a coherent case for.
Showed promise in her early racecourse career but has shown very little in three races since the turn of the year; getting more experience but that is as positive as it gets.
Relatively experienced racemare who put all Flat and jumps form behind her when winning a point-to-point cosily at the end of January; fair effort over course and distance earlier this month and certainly one to consider in this line-up.
Well regarded mare who has made the transition to hurdles from bumpers in a pleasing way based on her effort last time out at Fairyhouse when finishing third of 19; should improve on that and looks one of the leading fancies.
Down the field on both her racecourse appearances to date and others preferred based on that evidence.
Barely finished her bumper at Fairyhouse on debut and similar story on hurdle's debut at Punchestown; difficult to find anything positive to say about her.
Very disappointing on all three racecourse appearances; still has plenty of time on her side but unlikely to be competitive here.
Daughter of Oscar out of a Glacial Storm mare. Dam, point-to-point winner; has failed to shine on two racecourse appearances.
Cheaply bought as a three-year-old and while she is related to some fair National Hunt performers, it is difficult to see her being competitive based on debut effort over course and distance earlier this month when beating just two of 21 home.
First foal; related to some fair National Hunt types; difficult to assess on debut and stable confidence will be gauged through the market.
Flat-bred; showed very little on hurdles debut over course and distance recently; quick turn out is positive but unlikely to be good enough even in this weak field.
Cheaply bought as a three-year-old; is related to bumper and hurdles winners but hard to see her being good enough against some more experienced rivals on racecourse debut.
Forecasts
Scarlet And Dove (5/4), Robin Des Sivola (9/2), Flying Risk (7/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (7/1), Aprils Joy (7/1), La Chanteuse (10/1), Cloud Number Nine (20/1), Its Theway Forward (25/1), Ok Jk (50/1), She's All Vintage (66/1), Nodoubtaboutthat (66/1), Lauderdale Lady (100/1), Second Symphony (100/1), Morning Glisten (100/1), Loquacious Lady (100/1), You No Me Too Well (100/1), Milalee (100/1), Trixie Mc (100/1), Miss Anfield (100/1), Lucrezia Borja (100/1), Smiling Emily (100/1), Let Her Flow (100/1)
It may pay to side with FLYING RISK who won a bumper at Limerick in July and has produced two reasonable efforts since including on her hurdles debut last time out. Any progression on that effort and she may prove hard to beat. Robin Des Sivola is well regarded and her chance revolves around whether she will be fit after a long absence. If she is then she may give the selection most to do. Aprils Joy has experience of this track and if showing progress from her latest effort she should run a reasonable race.
