Horse A-Z
Has presumably not been the easiest to train given she finished third on her only start in Irish points back in 2022, but nonetheless, made a successful hurdling debut in 12-runner maiden at Worcester (20f) in September, enterprisingly ridden. Should be competitive under a penalty.

Showed a bit on sole bumper start at Lingfield in 2021/22 but absent since. Upped markedly in trip for belated hurdle debut.

11/8
Bumper winner who is proving consistent over hurdles, again running well when second in 7-runner handicap at this course (25.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Sets the standard.

Won sole start in point bumpers but sent off at long odds and offered little tried in a proper one at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) in January and again showed nothing when pulled up on Taunton hurdle debut since.

16/1
Dam 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Minor promise only in a pair of bumpers this winter but in good hands and jumping likely to see her in a better light, especially over this longer trip.

8/1
Modest form in a pair of Flat outings for Amy Murphy and bettered hurdling debut form when winning a notably weak maiden at Fakenham (2m) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Significantly up in trip and will likely prove vulnerable in her follow-up bid.

Forecasts

Lahinch Wave (1/1), Miss Goldfire (11/8), Abbey Law (8/1), Neon Madonna (16/1), Mistletoe (125/1), Dandylyon (150/1), Dusky Spyglass (200/1)

Verdict

MISS GOLDFIRE has been running consistently well and this looks a good oopportunity for her to finally shed maiden status over hurdles. Lahinch Wave had the benefit of an enterprising ride when making a winning Rules debut at Worcester in September but should be competitive under a penalty, with the selection's stablemate Neon Madonna likely to show more now moving up in trip on hurdle bow.
