40/1

Not disgraced in a number of starts over hurdles since winning a Wexford handicap over 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark. Handicapper looks in control.

Form: 210244-

Morga¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: D McDonogh| OR: 114| D

40/1

Winner of three of her 33 starts over hurdles but appears to be on something of a losing run towards the end of the year and on return to action on the Flat at the Curragh earlier this month.

Form: 8/58478-

Lady In Lavender^h¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 110| D

66/1

One from 14 over hurdles, the daughter of Jeremy has been sent off a big prices in a couple of starts on the Flat since racing resumed last month. Could be vulnerable in this company.

Form: 58/723-6

She Tops The Lot^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 110| D

18/1

Running well in a couple of starts since racing resumed last month including a victory at Bellewstown earlier this month. Looks on a handy mark for handicap debut.

Form: PPP/6-21

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 109| D

28/1

Off the mark at the fifth time of asking for connections landing a Roscommon 2m maiden hurdle last month before disappointing at Kilbeggan earlier this month. May need a couple to falter.

Form: 4335-16

Tara Dylan^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: K J Brouder| T: T Mullins| OR: 109| C

12/1

One from 28 over hurdles. The daughter of Dylan Thomas should not be easily dismissed with the yard among the winners this week.

Form: 600760-

Dinard Rose^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 114| BF| D

9/2

Form: 415P-

Upgraded²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: A J Martin| OR: 107| CD

11/2

Off the mark for connections at the eight start over hurdles winning a 2m Bellewstown handicap earlier this month at odds of 28/1 off a 12lb lower mark. Handicapper has been harsh.

Form: U9000/1

Two Shoe Tom⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Kevin Sexton| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 106

9/1

Winner of a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle earlier this month to get off the mark at the third time of asking. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 0/964-31

Laureate^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: L P Dempsey| T: C A McBratney| OR: 100| D

40/1

Came back to form with a bang when landing the spoils in a Limerick 2m½f handicap hurdle last month off a 7lb lower mark at odds of 20/1. Beaten since but still worthy of consideration here.

Form: 54P0-15

Millyinthemiddle³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D J Mullins| T: E Mullins| OR: 95

5/1

Four-race maiden over hurdles. Well beaten and never nearer at Kilbeggan on return to action last month. Better than last effort suggests.

Form: 3007-5

The trainer and jockey combination of Willie Mullins/Paul Townend can strike with the daughter of Shantou, JAZZAWAY. The five-year-old can improve on her win in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle when last seen in January, beating 18-rivals 3½L. Upgraded for trainer Tony Martin can compete for remaining prize money with fellow last time out winners, Barrington Court in the colours of J P McManus and Rescue Package for trainer Tony Mullins.
