Lunar Display⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 132

12/1

Useful hurdler who enhanced strike rate over hurdles when landing 9-runner listed hurdle at Thurles (2m) 41 days ago. Should cgive another good account but this tougher conceding weight all round.

Allegorie De Vassy^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins| OR: 133| CD

7/4

Promising mare who was impressive when opening account on yard debut in a C&D mares' hurdle at the start of the month, jumping on 2 out and cruising clear. Well worth her place at this higher level.

Form: P52-31

Braganza⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

28/1

Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 12¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Lunar Display in listed hurdle at Thurles (2m) 41 days ago, going with enthusiasm. May well do better, particularly as her jumping improves.

Form: 14

Brandy Love⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| C

7/4

Useful bumper winner who looked a most exciting prospect when making a winning return/yard debut in a mares' maiden at Naas (15.8f) last month. Big player with better to come.

Form: 1/13-1

Grangee³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: B J Cooper| T: W P Mullins| C

3/1

Useful form (3-5) in bumpers and similarly positive start over hurdles, winning 2m maiden here in November. Solid fourth in Grade 1 company since and she's high on the shortlist here.

Form: 3161-14

Monishter Are Mwee^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ian Power| T: Jayne Hearne| OR: 116

150/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner. 12/1, very good 11 lengths second of 9 to Allegorie De Vassy in minor event hurdle at this course (18.7f, soft) 28 days ago. This demands more, however.

Form: 560812

Red As Rust²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: C J Orr| T: N Slevin| CD

16/1

Fair hurdler who built on previous efforts to land 15-runner C&D novice 3 weeks ago, tackled when left clear at the last. Needs to step up a good deal on that effort to figure here, though.

Form: 334-P41

Bynx⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M Hassett

150/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 18 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16f, soft) 55 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: F5

Forecasts

Allegorie De Vassy (7/4), Brandy Love (7/4), Grangee (3/1), Party Central (8/1), Lunar Display (12/1), Red As Rust (16/1), Braganza (28/1), Monishter Are Mwee (150/1), Bynx (150/1)

A host of exciting mares in opposition, including BRANDY LOVE who looked one to keep firmly onside when making a winning hurdles debut at Naas last month, and she gets the nod to take the rise in class in her stride. The selection's stabemates Grangee and Allegorie de Vassy are others fancied to feature.
