16/5, improved again when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer.

Ran one of this season's lesser races when 24½ lengths fifth of 18 to Maid On The Moon in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 27 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Bounce back needed.

15/8
Won at Limerick on St. Stephen's Day and matched that form as opposed to improving on it when second of 6 in juvenile handicap hurdle (5/2) at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) a couple of months ago. Significantly up in trip. Merits consideration.

Failed to build on the promise of last run with more patient tactics re-employed when well-held sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy, 9/1) 22 days ago.

11/1
Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, failed by only a narrow margin despite not being seen to best effect when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (20f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago, short of room approaching straight. Capable of better now handicapping.

17/2
Blinkered for 1st time, showed much improved form to get off the mark under Rules for her current connections in 18-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft) 27 days ago, joined when left well clear last. 11 lb rise makes things tough.

4/1
Latest win in chase at Navan in March. 8/1, found only a less-exposed sort too good when second of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.8f, good) 15 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Shortlist material in her current mood.

Forecasts

Out For A Stroll (15/8), Lilian Bland (4/1), Joueuse Royale (9/2), Maid On The Moon (17/2), Slim Marvel (17/2), Stretchemout (11/1), Joya Del Mar (12/1), Magic Boum (22/1), Kilda Kelle (22/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but it could pay to take a chance on bottom-weight LILIAN BLAND, who arrives in the form of her life over the larger obstacles and has a much lower hurdles mark to work with here. Heading up the dangers is Maid On The Moon, who was a fortuitous winner at Leopardstown last month and has been hit with a hefty 11 lb rise. Joueuse Royale and Stretchemout can fight out minor honours.

  1. Lilian Bland4/1
  2. Maid On The Moon17/2
  3. Joueuse Royale9/2
