Carrigeen Lotus²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss E A Lalor⁽⁵⁾| T: R H Lalor| D

5/2

Useful form when winner of bumper at Cork in January. Off 8 months for hurdles debut but not dismissed lightly and worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: 0213-

Deramore Park^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B J Murphy

20/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ger Lyons when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 66/1) on NH debut 14 days ago. Likely to do better so enters calculations.

Form: 5

Deyforgotme

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: F J Hayes⁽⁷⁾| T: D Commins

125/1

Arcadio mare. Dam (h83) maiden hurdler. Others appeal more on paper so she faces no easy introduction over hurdles.

Form:

Dreamingandhoping^h²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally| D

2/1

Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers before 8l seventh of 11 to Darling Daughter in Grade 2 bumper (20/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft). Makes hurdles debut and worth considering.

Form: 2317-

Inagh's Gift²³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: S P Hennessy

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (18.7f, heavy, 50/1). Off 7 months but not ruled out.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs G Callaghan

250/1

Twice-raced maiden, only fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 47 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 70

Shes Some Doll⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| BF

16/1

Modest hurdler. Best run when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Ballinrobe (21.8f, soft) 95 days ago. Back down in trip and respected.

Form: 0485-64

Shoebox^t1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ian Power| T: J F O'Shea

300/1

Twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Roscommon (16f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Tongue strap on now with lots more needed.

Form: 0

Suil Alainn

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: C D Maxwell| T: G P Cromwell

25/1

Jeremy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Lillian. In excellent hands and bred to be no back number so hurdling debutante is worth a market check.

Form:

Tucanae²⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| BF| D

2/1

Fairly useful form when winner of bumper at Limerick before (11/8) promising second of 15 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, heavy) 8 months. Sets a decent standard.

Form: 1612-

What Next

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P D Kennedy| T: Mrs J Harrington

14/1

Scorpion mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 3m hurdler Sensulano. Appealing pedigree and with excellent yard so newcomer warrants plenty of respect.

Form:

Non-Runners

Miss Arccol

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

T: Peter Fahey J: R P Treacy

Forecasts

Tucanae (2/1), Dreamingandhoping (2/1), Carrigeen Lotus (5/2), What Next (14/1), Miss Arccol (14/1), Shes Some Doll (16/1), Deramore Park (20/1), Suil Alainn (25/1), Inagh's Gift (50/1), Deyforgotme (125/1), Loyal Lioness (250/1), Shoebox (300/1)

TUCANAE sets the bar quite high on the form of her Punchestown second so is taken to go one better and add to her Limerick bumper victory. Carrigeen Lotus is feared most on the back of her useful bumper form fellow newcomer What Next is another well worth a second look.
