Fair maiden on the Flat. Blinkered for 1st time when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (10f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Dermot Weld with something to prove.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in bumper (150/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 34 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with work to do.
|
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. In the frame both runs over hurdles in October so not dismissed back in this sphere.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat. 33/1, first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when ninth of 12 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Has plenty to find.
|
Poor maiden on the Flat. 300/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 29 days ago, saddle slipped. Has lots to prove.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner for John Joseph Murphy. Not discounted now going hurdling for his new yard.
|
Fair Flat winner, fourth of 11 in handicap at Strasbourg (11.7f, soft, 22/10) 6 months ago on final run for E. J. O'Neill. No forlorn hope starting out over hurdles for new handler here.
|
Fair 1m Flat winner. 50/1, fourth of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 29 days ago. May do better still, so he's well worth considering.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when tenth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Dundalk (8f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and not dismissed over hurdles now.
|
Seventh of 12 in juvenile hurdle (16/1) at Navan (16f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Needs a big step forward.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat, though last of 14 in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (12f, heavy) in November. Goes hurdling but others appeal more.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, sixth of 15 in bumper at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with more required.
|
Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Bergamot. Dam fair bumper winner. In excellent hands and not without interest on paper. Newcomer is worth a market check.
|
Fair Flat winner, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 9/1) in November. Not discounted on her hurdling bow.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat, only eleventh of 13 in handicap (8/1) at the Curragh (7f) in October on final run for John Oxx. Other hurdling debutants are preferred.
|
Fairly useful 1m Flat winner. 6/1, promising second of 12 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 13 days ago. Should have more to offer, and she looks the one to beat.

Forecasts
Ya Ya Baby (10/11), Knight Of Malta (4/1), Battle Of Benburb (11/2), Hisnameis Mrdevitt (6/1), Moon Eagle (11/1), Decimal Day (11/1), Crescent Lake (14/1), Hurricane Alex (16/1), Myrcella (16/1), Shirocco's Delight (28/1), Secret Sea (50/1), Ashtarak (66/1), Jovial Jack (66/1), Sequoiaspirit (80/1), Buto (100/1), Clever Currency (125/1), Barnacullia (125/1)
YA YA BABY sets a good standard on the form of her Navan second and, with more improvement in the pipeline, Jessica Harrington's filly should prove hard to beat. Denis Hogan landed this event 12 months ago and his progressive Knight of Malta rates the chief threat, with Hisnameis Mrdevitt another worth considering for place purposes.
