13/8

Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, left debut form behind when third of 12 in bumper at Fairyhouse 22 days ago. Has been found a gilt-edged opportunity to open her account.

14/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16f, good to soft, 7/1) on NH debut 33 days ago. That was a rather unpromising start, but she should have learned from it at least.

Form: 9

4/1

Once-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Makes bumpers debut.

8/1

Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, eighth of 14 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft). Off 14 months. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 5/8-

No Fussing

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle

22/1

Fame And Glory mare. Dam (h101), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Beatabout The Bush. Makes some appeal on pedigree.

Form:

Reine Machine^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Jonathan Sweeney

85/40

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16f, good to soft, 8/1) 33 days ago. Obvious player in a race that lacks depth.

Form: 5P-23

Sharavogue³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J Younge⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan

200/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, last of 7 in bumper at this course (16.2f, good) on bumper debut 31 days ago.

Form: 057

Zingara Lass

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss H McLoughlin

50/1

Leading Light filly. Dam (c124/h110) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Will probably need time, so not an obvious sort to make her mark first-time-out.

Form:

Forecasts

Burn The Evidence (13/8), Reine Machine (85/40), Dorans Weir (4/1), Highland Penny (8/1), Cool Croi (14/1), No Fussing (22/1), Carrigeen Konini (33/1), Zingara Lass (50/1), Getaway'n'dance (125/1), Sharavogue (200/1), Athagabhain (250/1)

BURN THE EVIDENCE was much improved from her debut when third at Fairyhouse in November and probably won't need to improve much to get off the mark at the third attempt. On form, Reine Machine is the clear danger, although the selection's stablemate Cool Croi should have learned from her uninspiring debut, so she's not a forlorn hope.
