12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 76 days ago, possibly finding race coming too soon after a good third on C&D debut. She may well get back on track here.

Forecasts

Feddans (3/1), Mi Lighthouse (7/2), Cute Cherry (4/1), Eyre Square (11/2), Ardera Ru (15/2), Delightfantastic (12/1), Rebel Rose (20/1), Tarqueens Glory (20/1), Court Blaze (25/1), Carrigeen Konini (28/1), Charming Mollie (28/1), Lucy Van Pelt (33/1), Premier Queen (66/1)

A mares' bumper with a wide-open feel and it may pay to side with EYRE SQUARE. She was fairly strong in the betting and showed some promise when third behind subsequent Grade 3 hurdle winner Sayce Gold at Fairyhouse. Third in a point since, she's the type to improve. Ardera Ru, Cute Cherry and Delightfantastic head up the dangers.
