Winning pointer who was much improved when making second bumper outing a winning one at Wexford in October. Bought for £26,000 subsequently and seems sure to have a future over hurdles.

Oscar mare who opened her account in points at the seventh attempt last time (Mar 2020). Makes a belated Rules debut and the market should point the way.

Hunny Moon (4/7), Cailin Dearg (4/1), Flexi Furlough (4/1), Robin Des Smoke (14/1), Gentle Rose (22/1), Caught Inthe Slips (33/1), Toni's Oscar (33/1), Talk Of A Storm (33/1), Grenadine Save (40/1), Just Jess (80/1), Atomic Angel (125/1), Veshenskaya (150/1), Zara's Universe (300/1), Ofthesea (300/1), Puppetonastring (300/1), Shanteen Island (300/1), Stevie Smith (400/1)

Verdict

CAILIN DEARG was much improved when making her second bumper outing a winning one at Wexford in October and is taken to upset likely favourite Hunny Moon, who sets the standard but has had her limitations exposed to some extent already. Flexi Furlough is also a contender.

  1. CAILIN DEARG (IRE)
  2. HUNNY MOON
  3. FLEXI FURLOUGH (IRE)
