14/1

Once-raced maiden. 9/2, fifth of 6 in bumper at Punchestown (17.7f, heavy) on NH debut 95 days ago. May do better, so not completely discounted.

33/1

Arctic Cosmos filly. Dam (h138) 2m-21f hurdle winner. Others make more appeal.

13/2

Masked Marvel filly. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 23f) Kapgarry. Others preferred.

Form:

Power Of Power

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

16/1

Power filly. Dam unraced. Uninspiring pedigree, so best avoided unless strong in the betting.

Form:

Whispering Pines³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J P O'Brien

7/4

Promising type. 3/1, third of 12 in bumper at Wexford (16f, heavy) on NH debut 33 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Likely to improve and should take all the beating.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Whispering Pines (7/4), Frontline Worker (10/3), Maska Du Morvan (13/2), Katie's Fortune (12/1), Fizzle Rock (14/1), Littel Flour (14/1), Gracesolution (16/1), Power Of Power (16/1), Mareintheair (18/1), Bambeano (20/1), Loveybond (33/1), Jean Hill (66/1)

WHISPERING PINES was prominent in the betting and offered plenty of encouragement when third at Wexford on debut, so he should be able to put that experience to good use and open his account at the second attempt. Frontline Worker is a well-bred filly from a top-notch yard, so she strikes as the main danger.
