Hashtag Be Kind¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

6/4

Flat-bred mare who finished runner-up only start in bumpers for Jamie Osborne in 2021. Shaped better for the run following 25 months off when fifth in mares' maiden for her powerful NH yard in November and she looks sure to do better.

Form: 2/5-

Jumping Susie^t²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B W Harvey| T: J C McConnell| OR: 101| BF

13/2

Fair form at best in this sphere and she again found only one too good in 9 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) in October having travelled best. Absent since but up to playing a part on return.

Lucky Speed mare. Won sole start in points (Mar 17) and showed up well for a long way when third of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft, 14/1) on NH debut 15 days ago. Ought to be sharper with that under her belt.

Form: 1-3

Wudya¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

3/1

Looked in need of the experience when sixth of 9 in a Thurles bumper in February but belied big odds to finish promising second of 16 in a Killarney mares' maiden (22.5f) on hurdles debut 18 days ago. Open to improvement and she's likely to stay further still.

Hashtag Be Kind (6/4), Wudya (3/1), Scar Bridge (7/2), Jumping Susie (13/2), Kilrush Lady (9/1), Fire Force (11/1), Ashlia Dancer (16/1), Alright Darling (25/1), Sights Unseen (50/1), Mrs Wemyss (100/1), Stone Rosie (125/1), Aravcaria (125/1), Princess Felicia (150/1), Beacon Storm (150/1), A Brandy For Bob (150/1), Coppola (200/1)

WUDYA belied long odds when finishing a promising second on her respective hurdles debut at Killarney 18 days ago,, and with improvement on the cards, she looks to hold solid claims of going one place better. Hashtag Be Kind, back from another break, could yet do better in this sphere and is feared. Jumping Susie and Scar Bridge can also make the frame.
