De Lady In Red^t1⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: B Connell| BF

Form: 52F/8-04

Eabha Grace¹⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C P McNamara| T: W P Mullins| D

15/2

Promising sort. Useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Second of 10 in maiden at Killarney (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences in May. Likely has more to offer but stablemate Brandy Love was better than her over hurdles.

Form: 2171P-2

40/1

Forecasts

Brandy Love (8/11), Harmonya Maker (5/2), Eabha Grace (15/2), Henning (11/1), De Lady In Red (33/1), Feddans (40/1), Lady Kate (150/1)

Smart hurdler BRANDY LOVE will take a lot of stopping if translating anything like her smart hurdles form to the larger obstacles. Her stablemate Eabha Grace shaped with promise on her chase debut in the spring and is preferred to Gordon Elliott's Harmonya Maker for the forecast spot.
