Mighty Blue^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 93

11/4

Winner on one occasion from five career starts in France. Beaten 3½L in a Listed fillies contest at Leopardstown on first start for yard last month. In the right hands to conjure improvement and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 67137-5

Winiata⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 91

5/1

Career best effort, third of 14 beaten 5¼L in a Listed contest at Listowel in September. Beaten at a similar level since and this looks hard enough for the filly racing 13lb higher than last winning mark.

Form: 1137-87

Traisha^p1,t1²⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 84

7/1

Solid and consistent sort in France showing a good attitude to land a 1m2f contest 12 months ago. May go well for yard on stable debut in first-time cheekpieces.

Timemakesitfine^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: J McAuley| OR: 79

7/1

Not disgraced in a number of starts on the Flat for trainer Denis Hogan before getting off the mark at the ninth time of asking landing a 1m2f contest at Fairyhouse earlier this month off a 13lb lower mark. Plenty to find from revised mark.

Form: 6450-71

Cautious Approach^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Brien| OR: 77| C| D

15/2

Course winner that has also landed the spoils over a similar trip. Solid effort behind Tonkinese at the Curragh last month and holds strong place claims in this company.

Form: 713V05

(2)

Grenadine^h³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 86

6/1

Five-race maiden sending a number of mixed messages over a variety of trips since making her debut at Newmarket in November. Market likely to be the best guide as the daughter of Galileo steps into handicap company.

Form: 6-0956

(8)

Hayyel²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: T P Madden| T: R Brabazon| OR: 72

5/1

Won a maiden at Sligo last year, and placed on three occasions off higher marks in handicap company subsequently. Rising mark without winning doesn't help.

Form: 16235-2

(7)

Lighthouse Lady^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: E Kent| OR: 67

25/1

12-race maiden yet to hit the frame in her last three career starts including a dour effort on return to action at Navan over 1m5f beaten 12L. Plenty to find in this contest.

Forecasts

Mighty Blue (11/4), Wilderness (7/2), Winiata (5/1), Hayyel (5/1), Aunt Bee (5/1), Grenadine (6/1), Traisha (7/1), Timemakesitfine (7/1), Cautious Approach (15/2), Lighthouse Lady (25/1)

Competitive contest with many improving sorts in the line-up. WILDERNESS can continue her strong run of form as the mare attempt to win for the fourth time, landing a hat-trick of wins since racing returned last month. The five-year-old will find likfe more difficult under a penalty for her win at Leopardstown on Saturday but may have too much for the likes of Hayyel for trainer Richard Brabazon who can improve on her pleasing effort at Leopardstown last month. The James McAuley-trained Timemakesitfine was a shock winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month but can give another good account along with Aunt Bee for trainer Jessica Harrington.
