Lar's Lass³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: Tom Dreaper| OR: 93

16/1

Latest win in chase at Punchestown (22.1f) in February. Good fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good) in May and may of needed run after 5 months off when last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.6f) 32 days ago. Not dismissed lightly.

Form: 8146-40

14/1

22/1, fared little better than previously when finishing tenth of 18 on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 047380

Weir Lane^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 90

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 2/991-50

Delias Pet⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T Doyle| OR: 81| D

7/2

7/1, improved to win 14-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago, quickening to lead run-in and driven out. Well worth considering under a penalty.

Form: 1-00401

Avandra³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 87

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 34 days ago. Step up in trip needs to unlock further improvement now.

Form: 09-56

Jetaway To Getaway^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 86

8/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, soft, 14/1) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 8470-03

Joeswayornoway^b³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: H E Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 85

12/1

Unreliable type. Two wins from 44 NH runs. Unseated rider in handicap chase at this course (18f, good to firm, 12/1) 35 days ago, reluctant to set off and already tailed off prior to coming down first. Risky proposition returned to timber.

Form: 3079-5U

Ella Rose¹⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Prendergast| OR: 84

14/1

16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) in May, weakening before 4 out. Overall record is patchy to say the least so only market support would make her of interest returning from 5 months off.

Form: 02057-P

Keyser Smokesy^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Philip Byrnes| T: T O'Connor| OR: 85

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Work to do from this mark on what she's achieved to date.

Form: 70-09

Realtin Lonrach¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: M O'Dowd| OR: 83

10/1

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy, 16/1) 12 days ago, keeping on again when hampered after last. Looks worthy of a crack back at this longer trip and she's one of the least exposed.

Form: 800-035

Stowaway Lass¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling| OR: 82

7/2

12/1, creditable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft) 14 days ago. A repeat gives her definite claims here.

Form: 55-66F4

Perfectway⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: E M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 81

12/1

12/1, showed a bit more under forcing tactics when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 66 days ago, fading when bad mistake last. Back up in trip.

Form: 9P70-78

Ardfert Mary⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 80

8/1

16/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago, racing in rear and never involved. Others more persuasive.

Form: 784P60

Kp's Ladyofknock²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: P Maher| OR: 80

125/1

150/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 28 days ago, weakening quickly. Up in trip. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 00PP00

Forecasts

Delias Pet (7/2), Stowaway Lass (7/2), Ardfert Mary (8/1), Jetaway To Getaway (8/1), Realtin Lonrach (10/1), Perfectway (12/1), Joeswayornoway (12/1), Ella Rose (14/1), Vilja Song (14/1), Lar's Lass (16/1), Avandra (16/1), Keyser Smokesy (25/1), Weir Lane (33/1), Petit Dejeuner (40/1), Kp's Ladyofknock (125/1)

A tricky mares' handicap with a chance taken on veteran STOWAWAY LASS. She confirmed the promise she was in the process of showing at Limerick when a good fourth over 3m at Galway 2 weeks ago and this drop back in trip may well be in her favour now. Tuesday's Fairyhouse winner Delias Pet and Realtin Lonrach are others to consider, along with Lar's Lass.
