Barrogstown Girl¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: J P Fahey| OR: 56| D

2/1

Lightly-raced winner. 16/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 10 days ago. Completely unexposed at this sort of trip and feasible to think she could have more to offer.

Form: 08-081

Molly Hall¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Robert Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: Alan McIntyre| OR: 52

13/2

Showed improved form to open her account at Clonmel (16.6f) last September. Creditable efforts on final 2 starts and best not judged too harshly on her exploits in trio of hurdle outings around the turn of the year. Down markedly in trip on debut for new yard.

Thefullbackline (13/8), Barrogstown Girl (2/1), Status Green (4/1), Molly Hall (13/2), Forlio (10/1), Albatala (10/1), Gemini Man (10/1), Vintage Gold (11/1), Velvet And Vine (14/1), As Fast As Wind (16/1), Chimeric (22/1), Fleadhfest (25/1), Florida Taiga (28/1), Star Of Mayo (33/1), Latinised (33/1)

STATUS GREEN has been in good form since the headgear went on, shaping better than the bare result when third at Ballinrobe 23 days ago. He earns the vote to confirm his revised mark a workable one back down in trip. Limerick-scorer Barrogstown Girl is easily one of the least exposed and is feared along with Forlio. Thefullbackline is also respected.
