Form:

Grey Angel^t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

8/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. 18/5, slipped up in juvenile hurdle at Roscommon (15.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 60 days ago. Remains with potential in this sphere.

Form: S

Loughisle Lady

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

5/2

Montmartre filly. Sister to useful hurdler Petite Parisienne, stays 2½m and French 17f hurdle winner Aimsiten, and half-sister to 6 winners. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Speedy Pix³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T G McCourt

125/1

Modest maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 9.5f, below form last 3 starts. Would be an unlikely winner on hurdle debut.

Form:

White Pepper^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: C P McNamara| T: G P Cromwell

10/3

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1¾m, won maiden at Tramore in August but out of depth last time. Could be a factor on hurdle debut.

Form:

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash

200/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and offered little sent hurdling at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 250/1) 13 days ago. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Loughisle Lady (5/2), Stand Staunch (10/3), White Pepper (10/3), Iberique Du Seuil (7/2), Virtual Hug (15/2), Helvic Princess (8/1), Inca Prince (8/1), Xeres (8/1), Vocito (20/1), Elzoom (33/1), Grey Angel (40/1), Go Large (50/1), Mankhool (50/1), Speedy Pix (125/1), Putonthenews (200/1), To Dream (250/1), Guest (300/1), Luz Long (300/1)

IBERIQUE DU SEUIL showed ability when runner-up in a French bumper in August and has subsequently joined a top yard, so he makes plenty of appeal on this switch to hurdling. Stand Staunch is pick of those with experience in this sphere, while Loughisle Lady is a highly respected newcomer.
