100/1

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle at Galway (21.4f, heavy) on hurdles bow in October, behind from 5 out. Needs to step up plenty to figure on return.

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in bumper at Roscommon (16.1f) back in July. Failed to complete both starts in points since and probably best watched now hurdling.

Forecasts

La Prima Donna (2/13), Emily Roebling (7/2), Feddans (7/1), Bang On Target (12/1), Shesdoenwell (16/1), Premier Queen (18/1), Skittles (20/1), Madam Belle (25/1), Hello Dolley (50/1), Up She Flew (66/1), Maska Du Morvan (80/1), Trim To Milan (80/1), Caremuchmore (80/1), Moyode Mist (100/1), Celine R (150/1), Ard Monarch (200/1), Elusive Point (250/1), Graigue Girl (250/1)

LA PRIMA DONNA has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and, in a race distinctly lacking depth, she can get off the mark. Emily Roebling and Feddans can take minor honours.
