Off time: 13:21 | Winning time: 3m 57.8s

Matilda With Me^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Sweeney

66/1

Fair Flat winner. Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (80/1) at this course (16f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 0

Powerful Out¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: J E Kiely| OR: 103| D

9/2

Fair hurdler who got back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.7f) in August. Unlucky to unseat in a C&D mares' maiden since and claims of hitting the frame here.

Form: 53304U

Brilliant Question^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: A J Flaherty⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Heffernan

200/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 11.5f) who has been well below best in handful of starts for present stable so far this year. Likely best watched now hurdling.

Form:

She's No Secret¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Donagh Meyler| T: J M Barrett

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy, 66/1) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Best watched.

Form: 550

Simplydbest

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Dempsey| T: G P Cromwell

40/1

Kalanisi filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Ballynagour, stayed 3¼m. Represents good yard and worth a check in the betting for clues ahead of debut.

Form:

Family Business^h¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J B Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Coffey

16/5

Fair hurdler. 10/1, shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Cork (20.4f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Better showing not ruled out but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 63239-5

Golden Bidar³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

6/1

Promising individual. 13/2, third of 14 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good) on hurdles bow 38 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 3/32-53

Lakota Nation¹¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: D J McInerney| T: M Winters

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Hooded, fourth of 14 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut 112 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 4

Manisanda¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: C J Orr| T: L Fowler

8/11

Presenting mare who showed fairly useful form in pair of bumpers during the spring, latterly when fifth in a Grade 3 event. Interesting now tackling timber and one to consider.

Form: 35-

No Reaction¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: R J McGrath

33/1

Modest form at best in bumpers but some encouragement to glean from her keeping on fifth in a C&D mares' maiden last month. May do better, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 435-055

She Might⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: M J Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

250/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, offered little on back of over 2 years off when eighteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 4 days ago. Readily passed over here.

Form: 0380/0

Sassy Sara⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: N Dooly

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 13 in bumper at Bellewstown (17f, good) 71 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Reserve 1.

Forecasts

Manisanda (8/11), Beth Horan (13/8), Frontline Worker (5/2), Family Business (16/5), Bubbles In May (4/1), Powerful Out (9/2), Golden Bidar (6/1), No Reaction (33/1), Lakota Nation (33/1), Belle Lurette (33/1), Simplydbest (40/1), Agirlcalledchloe (50/1), She's No Secret (66/1), Matilda With Me (66/1), Sassy Sara (100/1), Brilliant Question (200/1), She Might (250/1)

Probably not a strong mares' maiden with the vote in favour of hurdling debutante MANISANDA. She showed fairly useful form in bumpers during the spring, latterly when fifth in a Grade 3, and rates the type to make her mark over timber. Golden Bidar and Bubbles In May are others to consider, along with the returning Beth Horan.
