One Cool Lady (9/4), Zefania (9/2), Tilloughna (6/1), Thegingrin (7/1), Feet Of A Dancer (9/1), All About Lucy (9/1), Workforadime (11/1), Young Lucy (12/1), Blondesandbubbles (12/1), Silent Approach (25/1), Double Pink (25/1), Inchiquin Star (28/1), Presenting Doyen (50/1), Doyen For A Drink (80/1), Smallcashprize (100/1), Moyvilla Lass (125/1), Cooltubrid Hope (200/1)

THEGINGRIN was too green to do herself justice starting out under Rules in a Limerick bumper on Boxing Day and this point winner can be expected to leave that form well behind now switched to hurdles. She gets the nod ahead of One Cool Lady, who was a shade below par last time but she has strong claims judged on her peak form. All About Lucy will also be a threat if able to build on her latest, improved effort, while Feet of A Dancer needs a second look, too.
