33/1

66/1

Filly by Fame And Glory out of a Dr Massini mare. Dam, lightly raced in bumbers and over hurdles: well beaten on debut at Tipperary at the start of the month; should improve but may find a few too good.

Finest Evermore (8/13), Bally Dun Liss (9/2), Kalinda (6/1), Serenisa (7/1), April's Moon (11/1), Evie's Song (12/1), Annie G (14/1), Abunchofmemories (14/1), Your Place (20/1), No Reaction (25/1), That's Lifebuoy (28/1), Gold In Her Hair (28/1), Nearly Home (33/1), Could Be Trouble (33/1), Too Falutin (66/1), New Vick (80/1)

FINEST EVERMORE boasts the best racecourse form of those with runs under their belts and can benefit from the switch to Willie Mullins' yard. The step up in trip looks likely to suit and her racecourse experience should serve her well. Your Place went barely touched in the betting on her debut at Roscommon in June. She caught the eye in the closing stages and with race fitness on her side she holds every chance if improving. Nearly Home may prove the best of the unraced contestants. She is certainly bred to do well in the National Hunt sphere given her dam is a half-sister to the very smart Azertyuiop.
