Cheap purchase who failed to beat a rival when sent off a big price for Fontwell bumper 8 months ago. Easily passed over.

4/1

€110,000 3-y-o, Flemensfirth filly. Dam (c120/h113), 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Fourth at Warwick on debut over a year ago. Looked very green that day and should be capable of better.

Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 1m/9f winner Yusra. Dam South African 1m winner. Should have enough speed for this sort of test.

11/2

Cost €80,000 after winning an Irish point in April and showed a bit when fourth on Rules debut at Ffos Las in November. Should build on that.

9/4

Martaline mare. Sister to French hurdler/chaser Styline, and closely related to a winner, and half-sister to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Pur Style. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and represents a stable in great form.

9/2

Hooded and shaped quite nicely having been a long way back early when third of 10 at Warwick in November 2023. Off the track since.

Media Style (9/4), Chique Angel (4/1), Mustang Betty (9/2), Appleshaw (5/1), Easy Love (11/2), Comely Capri (17/2), Lady Genever (25/1), Feeling Frisky (150/1), Brenda (150/1), Ballyhealy Diamond (200/1)

CHIQUE ANGEL has been off the track since an encouraging debut at Warwick (when very green) over a year ago and she can improve enough to open her account at the second attempt. Mustang Betty has also been off a good while since a positive start, but she's feared most ahead of the well-bred newcomer Media Style.
