22/1

Dylan Thomas mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Hardwired, stays 25f. Likely to need more time and distance.

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 11 in bumper at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 31 days ago. Not completely ruled out for all that she'll need to improve.

40/1

Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) on NH debut 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Martin. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Mount Sinai (4/9), I Am Shadow (5/1), Sleep Sound (15/2), Adela Icon (14/1), River Robe (16/1), Next Question (22/1), Leahs Tricks (25/1), Phildante (28/1), Sheemore (40/1), French Milan (50/1), Lady Goliath (150/1)

MOUNT SINAI is with a top yard and related to a bumper winner, so she's worth chancing to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set all that high by those with experience. Adela Icon and I Am Shadow might well fight it out if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.
