Minx Tiara¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 132| D

8/1

Fairly useful chaser. 16/1, probably needed run when 26½ lengths sixth of 9 to Dolcita in listed chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 17 days ago. Still looks bit high in weights.

Form: 431P-46

Maskada²²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 131

4/1

Won listed mares event at Leicester in January for Stuart Edmunds. Out of depth on yard debut when 13 lengths fourth of 6 to Blue Lord in Barberstown Castle Novices' Chase (Colliers) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft). Player over this longer trip.

Form: 2313F4-

Kitty Galore³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: S Fitzgerald⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 122

25/1

Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in September. 6/1, in process of running below form when falling late in minor event chase at Clonmel (18.4f, heavy) 38 days ago. Possibilites if able to bounce back.

Form: 5-1529F

Optional Mix³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Jordan Gainford| T: E Doyle| OR: 121| C| D

4/1

Again displayed fine attitude when won 7-runner handicap chase at Wexford (20f, heavy) 35 days ago. 5 lb higher in weights now but should give another good account.

Form: 714-221

Malina Girl²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 120| D

5/1

Won Roscommon maiden in September and has produced good effforts both starts since, most recently when third of 10 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, good) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration.

Form: 224123

Getaway Goldie^p1³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 118| D

9/2

Pair of 3m handicap chase wins this summer but seemed to find test inadequate over a similar trip at Ayr last time. Remains on feasible mark but doubts about whether she's as effective over this distance remain.

Form: 1-12144

Razzle Dazzle Love^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 118

8/1

Returned to form from out of blue with excellent second of 7 in novice chase at this course (16f, heavy, 9/1) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip. No chances taken with opening mark on handicap chase debut.

Form: 25594-2

Alice Avril^h,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 117

7/1

Shaped as if retaining all ability when sixth of 10 in handicap chase (9/2) at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) 30 days ago. Ought to be sharper now and isn't ruled out.

Form: 42533-6

Hope Des Blins¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: J P Ryan| OR: 112

50/1

Already looks a better chaser and was in process of running well when taking heavy fall in novice chase at Cork (16.7f, soft) 14 days ago. Opening chase mark looks workable.

Form: F5928F

Forecasts

Optional Mix (4/1), Maskada (4/1), Getaway Goldie (9/2), Malina Girl (5/1), Alice Avril (7/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (8/1), Minx Tiara (8/1), Kitty Galore (25/1), Hope Des Blins (50/1)

MALINA GIRL has produced two good efforts since her maiden win at Roscommon and is fancied to go well again in this competitive mares event. Maskada isn't long with Henry de Bromhead and is interesting on her first handicap start for the yard, whilst Optional Mix is a likeable sort and should give another good account.
