Off time: 16:40 | Winning time: 4m 9.59s

Brave Bairn

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: O Sherwood

7/1

Brave Mansonnien filly. Dam unraced. Yard no stranger to success in bumpers and she's one to note in the betting.

Electric Annie²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber

15/2

€10,000 3-y-o.. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Superior Command, stays 2¾m, and bumper winner The Second Coming. Didn't show much in 2 starts between the flags.

Form: P3-

Hazy Dream

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller| T: C J Down

66/1

Dream Eater filly. Dam, 17f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m/17f hurdle winner Tominator. Yard is hardly synonymous with winning newcomers.

Form:

Karlie²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore

6/1

€3,500 3-y-o, £42,000 5-y-o. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Locksmith. Winner of the second of her 2 starts in maiden points and market check advised.

Form: 51-

Lily Glitters

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly

7/1

£8,000 3-y-o, Shirocco filly. Sister to useful 21f hurdle winner Tedham, stays 3m. Perhaps more of a long-term project, but she's in good hands and needs a second look in the betting.

Form:

Midsummer Moon³⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs R Ford

100/1

Failed to land a blow on debut in a Wincanton bumper for Bill Turner last November.

Form: 5-

My Keepsake

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

7/2

Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Catherines Well and bumper winner Neville, stays 3m. Represents top yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.

Form:

Phil Healy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

4/1

€12,000 3-y-o, Shirocco filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Ballyarthur, stayed 3¼m, and bumper winner/fair hurdler Sunday Serenade. Probably more of a long-term prospect.

Form:

Sakandi²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R H BucklerWS

80/1

Beaten a long way on C&D debut in January. Has undergone wind surgery.

Form: 0-

Tiffany Rose

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: R StephensWS

14/1

£4,500 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Sister to fair hurdler The Premier Celtic, stays 2¾m. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat.

Form:

Trump Lady²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Nick Mitchell

8/1

Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 4¼m) Regal Encore. Off the mark at third attempt in Irish points in March and interesting to see how she fares in the betting.

Form: 631-

What A Pleasure

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Down

25/1

Al Namix filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Dry Ol'party, stays 23f. Dam maiden hurdler. Like stablemate Hazy Dream, she'll probably come on for the run.

Form:

Non-Runners

Becky The Boo

Weight: 10-12| Age: 4

T: F O'Brien J: P J Brennan

Hello Sunshine

Weight: 10-12| Age: 4

T: P R Webber J: R P McLernon

Forecasts

My Keepsake (7/2), Phil Healy (4/1), Becky The Boo (5/1), Karlie (6/1), Lily Glitters (7/1), Brave Bairn (7/1), Electric Annie (15/2), Trump Lady (8/1), Tiffany Rose (14/1), Hello Sunshine (14/1), What A Pleasure (25/1), Hazy Dream (66/1), Sakandi (80/1), Midsummer Moon (100/1)

HELLO SUNSHINE is fairly appealing on paper and she may be worth chancing, particularly if the market vibes are positive. My Keepsake is of automatic interest given that she represents the Hobbs-Johnson combination, while Becky The Boo and Brave Bairn are other newcomers to note in the betting. Point winners Karlie and Trump Lady both need a market check, too.
