50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Pulled up in bumper at Wexford (20f, soft) in March, losing touch soon after 5f out. Similarly well held between the Flags and others preferred on debut for new yard.

11/1

Twice-raced maiden. 11/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18f, good) 40 days ago. Step back up in trip a likely plus on that evidence.

Infinite Glory²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton

10/1

Modest hurdler. Good fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Kilbeggan (19.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Bumper form an ongoing recommendation and not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 3260-54

No Memory²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: W C O'Brien

14/1

Point winner who has shown just poor form over hurdles to date and the step up in trip needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 7/195-5

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 11 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good, 22/1) on bumper debut 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from bumpers to hurdles.

16/1

Form: 86

Pretty Fantasy^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 98

6/1

Yet to better modest form in this sphere but she did fill the frame in handicap/maiden events at up to 19.8f. Respectable effort on the Flat latest and she's entitled to be in the mix.

Form: 629-033

Flying Risk³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott

13/2

Fair hurdler. Ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (17.7f, soft, 9/2) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Not May (7/2), Fairyhill Run (9/2), Pretty Fantasy (6/1), Flying Risk (13/2), Bavarian Girl (15/2), Infinite Glory (10/1), Gallopongray (11/1), No Memory (14/1), When Im Famous (16/1), Church Lane (18/1), Biddy A Chroi (25/1), Bailehuiguincailin (33/1), Minnies Exhibition (33/1), Flamin Aimee (50/1), Citizen's Army (150/1)

A decidedly trappy mares' maiden with INFINITE GLORY given the narrow vote. She built on her hurdles debut when fourth at Kilbeggan 23 days ago and it's feasible to expect even better still given her form in bumpers. Gallopongray and Pretty Fantasy are also fancied to feature.
