Champagne Diva^b⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 97

5/2

Stowaway filly who matched previous best when creditable second of 12 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.9f, good) 57 days ago. Should be in the mix again on that evidence.

Form: 66-2452

Citizen's Army¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, good, 150/1) 10 days ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 997

Empors Sword⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Darragh Allen⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kenneally| OR: 88

12/1

Modest hurdler who shaped as if retaining all her ability when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.4f) 48 days ago. That was her first start for 25 months but she does need to build on that.

Form: 704U4/4

Eversosaucy²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Ricky Doyle| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 96

7/1

Modest form at best to date. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Respectable sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (19.4f, good, 17/2) 28 days ago.

Form: 44-73F6

Infinite Glory²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton

Lady Rocco¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J S McGarvey| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 95

7/1

Modest hurdler. Creditable fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 6/1) 14 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip but handicaps may be more her bag.

Form: 4-77235

Loughaneala Og⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: W J Burke

15/2

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 16 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) 60 days ago, running on. Up in trip.

Form: 9-3

Moonlight Symphony²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Treacy

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 07-08

Scarlet Revera⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: J F O'Shea

16/1

Poor form to date in 2 hurdle starts. 14/1, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Up in trip but it may be low-grade handicaps she does better.

Form: 5/337-65

Thatlldo³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Rath

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle (66/1) at Wexford (20f, soft) 33 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 07P-P

Where's Bunny^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly| OR: 101

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.8f, good to soft, 10/3) 20 days ago. Ease back in trip a likely plus.

Form: 6-09523

Barto

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon

18/1

Valirann filly who is likely best watched on debut unless market vibes are particularly positive ahead of debut.

Scarlett O'halo^p1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: Dermot Day

50/1

Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Wexford (20f, soft) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time but hard to make a case for.

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Unseated rider at first in novice hurdle at Roscommon (2m) on hurdles bow 3 days ago. Regressive in bumpers however and others preferred. Reserve 1.

Forecasts

Brave Way (9/4), Champagne Diva (5/2), Where's Bunny (7/2), Eversosaucy (7/1), Lady Rocco (7/1), Infinite Glory (7/1), Loughaneala Og (15/2), Empors Sword (12/1), Scarlet Revera (16/1), Barto (18/1), Sienne D'or (20/1), Eternal Gale (33/1), Goatitagain (33/1), Scarlett O'halo (50/1), Citizen's Army (66/1), Moonlight Symphony (100/1), Thatlldo (125/1)

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it may pay to side with BRAVE WAY. An expensive purchase on the back of success on her sole start in points, she makes appeal on paper starting out for a powerful yard and she can come out on top. Where's Bunny and Champagne Diva can emerge best of those with previous hurdles experience.
