50/1
Well-beaten fourth of 5 to Bachasson in Imperial Call Chase (12/1) at Cork (24f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Easy to look elsewhere and assessor has cut him some slack.

Reliable sort on the whole. 100/ and probably needed the run when fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21.7f, soft) 32 days ago.

4/1
Two wins from 4 runs last season. 11/5, career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, soft) 28 days ago. Should have more to offer, particularly over 3m so she has to go on the shortlist.

Fell in handicap chase at Punchestown (21.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles on the back of a brace of non-completions.

16/5
Promising individual. 11/10, career best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.7f, heavy) 40 days ago, easing clear. Makes handicap hurdle debut and 3m isn't certain to suit but her limit has not yet been reached.

7/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at this course (23.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago, easily. Open to progress given she's unexposed as a stayer.

Unreliable sort. Won at this meeting over 19f a year ago. Creditable sixth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 8/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip and another bold show likely.

Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in January. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy, 12/1) 50 days ago. Assessor probably has him about right now.

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 18f on Flat. 33/1, respectable seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago, left poorly placed.

Forecasts

Law Ella (16/5), Nine Graces (4/1), Level Neverending (7/1), Lady Rita (8/1), Desertmore House (9/1), Run For Pat (10/1), Desert Heather (12/1), Sheishybrid (12/1), Sweet Will (18/1), Birdie Blitz (20/1), The Little Yank (22/1), Bardenstown Lad (22/1), Macgiloney (25/1), Happy Jacky (33/1), Ronald Pump (50/1), Golden Jewel (50/1)

Verdict

A good-quality handicap and it may pay to focus on the trio arriving on the up. NINE GRACES is improving fast having been fitted with a tongue tie and is selected to take the step up in class in her stride and complete the hat-trick. With 3m not certain to suit the smooth-travelling mare Law Ella, Desert Heather is feared most.

  1. Nine Graces4/1
  2. Desert Heather12/1
