Brompton Park⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in bumper (10/1) at Ayr (16f, heavy) 67 days ago, needing stiffer test. Slight step up in trip should help.

Form: 73

Chuggys Queen⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Lambe

66/1

Once-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) on NH debut 61 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford.

Form: PP-70

El Poppochapo⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in bumper at Naas (15.4f, heavy, 125/1) 4 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for.

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in bumper (100/1) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 19 days ago.

Form: 9

Glenanore

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr M J O'Connor| T: J P Cahill

8/1

Mahler mare. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Willoughby Hedge. Could take to this discipline, so not completely dismissed on debut.

Form:

Go Lassie Go²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Cosgrave

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in bumper at Navan (15.8f, heavy, 100/1) on NH debut 23 days ago.

Form: 9

Henning²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J F O'Meara⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan

10/3

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in bumper at Thurles (16.3f, soft, 9/2) 21 days ago. Obvious claims if she can get back to the sort of form she showed on debut.

Form: 28

Law Ella

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

6/1

Yeats mare. Half-sister to point winner/fair hurdler Westy Fox, stays 23f. Represents a shrewd yard and starts out in what seems like a thin race on paper, so one to consider.

Form:

One Cool Lady³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B G Crawford⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

11/2

Promising type. 7/2, fourth of 12 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy) on NH debut 30 days ago. Open to progress, and may well make her presence felt.

Form: 4

Sunshine Girl⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: S R B Crawford

17/2

Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in bumper (14/1) at Thurles (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 88 days ago. May do better.

Form: 4

Gold Haven

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mulvany

18/1

Mount Nelson filly. Dam, placed over hurdles, 10.4f-1½m winner on Flat. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

I Am Shadow

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

7/2

Getaway filly. Sister to a winner, and half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Dawn Shadow and useful chaser Jack Hackett. Makes some appeal on pedigree.

Form:

Forecasts

Henning (10/3), I Am Shadow (7/2), One Cool Lady (11/2), Law Ella (6/1), Glenanore (8/1), Sunshine Girl (17/2), El Poppochapo (12/1), Brompton Park (14/1), Gold Haven (18/1), Go Lassie Go (33/1), Emily B (50/1), Chuggys Queen (66/1)

LAW ELLA might well need further in time but, in a weak race, it's worth taking a chance that she has enough ability to pull her through on debut. Henning is a player if she can put a poor run behind her and Sunshine Girl is also worth considering on the back of a mildly promising start.
