Horse A-Z
Winning pointer who ran to a modest level on Rules bow when sixth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Naas (19.6f) 67 days ago, no extra between last 2. May do better with that under her belt.

Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to useful chaser Creadan Grae, stayed 3m and fair chaser October Revolution. Represents top stable and market confidence behind her would look significant on debut.

Timeform
Jet Away mare. Dam, unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3½m) Riverside City. Made frame completed start in points (Nov 10). Betting should unearth some clues making Rules/hurdles debut.

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, produced best effort yet when third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft, 17/2) 70 days ago.

Timeform
Shirocco mare who won on point debut (Oct 27). Well worth a look switched to hurdling in a race lacking a great deal of depth.

Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden. 18/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft) 57 days ago. Capable of playing her part if shrugging that effort off.

Libertarian mare. Placed once from 3 starts in points but offered little equipped with a tongue strap (retained here) when last of 6 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip for hurdles bow.

Forecasts

Creadan Grace (2/1), Mayo Shirocco (5/2), Affinity Rock (4/1), Milanaway (7/1), Knocknagoran Lady (8/1), Joshua's Daylami (12/1), Justabitofyours (20/1), Cullig (33/1), Neska Blue (50/1)

Verdict

Not a strong mares' maiden by any means but MAYO SHIROCCO arrives having tasted success on her only start in points back in October and could be the way to go on hurdles debut before market clues. Creadan Grace representing Gordon Elliott is a newcomer to note, with Milanaway next best.
