Allegorie De Vassy^t²⁵

1/8

Promising mare who arrives unbeaten for Willie Mullins, easily making a winning start over fences in Limerick Grade 2 in December. Can't be opposed.

Form: 52/311-1

Brides Hill³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: G P Cromwell

17/2

Useful hurdler and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, finishing second of 8 in maiden at Naas (20f, soft, 22/1) 33 days ago. More will be needed to seriously trouble the favourite, though.

Form: 1P3-F32

Carrigeen Konini⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Cian Quirke| T: Miss E Lalor

200/1

Modest hurdler. Third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.8f, heavy, 13/2) 5 days ago. Faces a very stiff task on chase debut.

Form: 6347-P3

Granny Lowrie²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Doyle| T: P M J Doyle| D

50/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.3f, heavy, 11/1) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. Up against it.

Form: 614723

Malina Girl²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 128| D

11/1

Useful chaser. Won a Fairyhouse handicap in December but 19 lengths behind the reopposing Allegorie De Vassy in Grade 2 company at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) since.

Form: 412312

Six Feet Apart⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

40/1

Fairly useful hurdle winner. Failed to build on quite an encouraging chase debut effort when remote fifth at Clonmel last month but it's still early days for her in this sphere.

Form: 517F-65

Forecasts

Allegorie De Vassy (1/8), Brides Hill (17/2), Malina Girl (11/1), Six Feet Apart (40/1), Granny Lowrie (50/1), Carrigeen Konini (200/1)

It's impossible to get away from ALLEGORIE DE VASSY who hacked up in similar company on her Limerick chase debut over Christmas and will surely maintain her unbeaten record for the Willie Mullins yard with a clear round. Gavin Cromwell pair Brides Hill and Malina Girl, who was a remote second to the selection at Limerick, can battle it out for the forecast spot.
