Bioverdia¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

6/5

Winner on bumper debut but didn't managed to build on that up in class in two subsequent events; ran well on hurdles debut at Punchestown in February finishing 4th of 22 runners; can improve.

Tina Marie⁶²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: L P Cusack

14/1

Not seen the track since 2018; was in fair form in bumpers that year but desperately poor in two hurdles outings; difficult to assess and worth a check in the market.

What Wonders Weave⁶²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon

66/1

Average handicapper on the Flat when last seen in 2018; normally a reliable sort and it will be interesting to see how he fares over hurdles for new connections.

Form:

Faerie Laws¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: P G Fahey| C

50/1

Showed the occasional glimpse of ability on the Flat but was generally unreliable; two fair efforts over hurdles to date late last year; needs to improve but could spring a surprise.

Form: 88-

Inshallah Queen²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: L P Dempsey| T: P W Flynn

25/1

Had some success on the Flat over middle distances when trained in France; first run for new connections; difficult to assess her true chance but very interesting runner.

Form:

Bonarc²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: D J Mullins| T: J P Ryan

3/1

Mixed up hurdles and bumpers last season and showed plenty of promise in both spheres; experience should stand her in good stead and looks one of the more obvious winners.

Form: 234335-

Cornakill Rose⁴⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 104

40/1

Fair bumper performer who showed some promise on first two starts over timber before pulling up and jumping poorly last time at Limerick; has talent but needs to improve her hurdling.

Form: 06655P/

Doonbeg Glory³⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

250/1

Has shown very little talent in two runs in bumpers to date with last run coming over a year ago; hard to recommend on those performances on hurdling debut.

Form: 7/0-

She Tops The Lot⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

15/2

Potential improver on debut for Henry De Bromhead but isn't easy to fancy on what she showed in three point-to-points (pulled up each time); better on hurdles debut at Clonmel in March and one to consider.

Form: PPP/6-

Vocal Queen^t1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B W Duke

33/1

Of little merit on the Flat and one poor hurdles run to date does not inspire much confidence in her chances in this contest; open to improvement so no forlorn hope.

Form: 9-

Yeah Babe⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

22/1

Has shown precious little on three starts over hurdles to date and was poor on Flat last week at Fairyhouse; might be worth persevering with but hard to back with confidence.

Form: U00-

Bare With Me^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: E J O'Grady

20/1

Lightly-raced on the Flat making hurdles debut here; will be fit from recent effort at Fairyhouse last week and one to consider if the money is down.

Form:

Cosmic Jazz¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C D Timmons⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell

80/1

Failed to show much on the Flat for Sheila Lavery, and has struggled over hurdles for new connections; others preferred.

Form: 00-

Springsteen's Girl⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell

16/1

Reserve 1 Ran with credit in a couple of bumpers at Down Royal and Galway on first two starts but disappointed on latest appearance at Wexford.

Forecasts

Bioverdia (6/5), Bonarc (3/1), Toor Hawk (4/1), She Tops The Lot (15/2), Bigly (10/1), Tina Marie (14/1), Springsteen's Girl (16/1), Bare With Me (20/1), Yeah Babe (22/1), Inshallah Queen (25/1), Vocal Queen (33/1), Cornakill Rose (40/1), Faerie Laws (50/1), What Wonders Weave (66/1), Lucrezia Borja (66/1), Cosmic Jazz (80/1), Doonbeg Glory (250/1)

Racecourse experience is generally a plus in these contest and the selection BONARC has bags of it. She has some useful form in bumpers and over hurdles and can put that to her advantage here in this weak contest. Bioverdia is another with experience in bumpers and over hurdles. She put in a pleasing debut over timber in February and if stepping up on that could go close. She Tops The Lot showed little in her short point-to-point career but exhibited enough on her hurdles debut to suggest she should be winning races.
