15/2

Promising individual. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. 6/1, 6 lengths second of 6 to Jetara in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) 46 days ago. Remains open to inprovement and could be the main danger to stablemate Jade De Grugy.

Jade De Grugy³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins

8/13

Highly promising type. First run since leaving A. Fouassier when won 16-runner novice hurdle (5/4) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) on IRE NH debut 30 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 1-1

Judicieuse Allen³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: A P Heskin| T: W P Mullins

9/1

Fair hurdler. 1 win from 1 run this season. First run since leaving Gabriel Leenders when winning a 16-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy, 6/5) on IRE NH debut 31 days ago. Should progress but yard saddles stronger candidates.

Form: 2-1

Leahs Tricks^t⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: J J Slevin| T: P E Collins| OR: 103| C

200/1

Modest hurdler. Successful here in October. 9/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 67 days ago, behind when pulled up before last. Uphill task.

Form: 5-5719P

Look To The West⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

11/2

Won 19-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 9/4) on NH debut 69 days ago, pushed out. Open to improvement for respected connections and she's not discounted, for all that a good more will be needed here.

Form: F1/1

Miss Agusta⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

33/1

Fair hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 22/1, 20½ lengths seventh of 9 to Birdie Or Bust in listed hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Remains capable of better but probably biting off more than she can chew in this company.

Form: 4520-17

Forecasts

Jade De Grugy (8/13), Look To The West (11/2), A Penny A Hundred (15/2), Pink In The Park (15/2), Judicieuse Allen (9/1), Miss Agusta (33/1), Leahs Tricks (200/1)

French import JADE DE GRUGY looked good when making a winning hurdles debut at Leopardstown and she can be expected to take this step up in class in her stride. A Penny A Hundred, one of three others representing the Willie Mullins yard, could be the one to follow the selection home, while Look To The West is also accorded respect.
