Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling| BF

7/4

Consistent sort in bumpers and has mixed it with some fair types. Creditable third of 12 in bumper (10/3) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut over longer trip and could be open to improvement.

125/1

Little form in bumpers. Off 9 months and significantly up in trip for hurdles debut. Plenty to prove.

Form: 9/00-

Fairys Fortune

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J P Flavin

14/1

Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair 2m hurdle winner Sullivan's Brow and bumper winner Palm Sur. Likely outsider on debut.

66/1

Imperial Monarch mare. Dam (h80), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), half-sister to modest hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 31f) Parkinson. Made frame both completed starts in points (latest May 18). Wears hood for debut and likely faces an uphill task.

Prized Jet⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

28/1

Jet Away mare. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (winner up to 23f) Lucid Dreams. Runner-up sole start in points last month and market should guide expectations on Rules debut.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins

13/2

Leading Light mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser who became ungenuine (stayed 3m) Coastal Tiep. Successful on last of 4 starts in points (Dec 2022). In excellent hands (one for 3 runners for the stable) for Rules debut and has to be respected.

She'll Be Kept^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 98

3/1

Second in a claimer on final outing for Sean Joseph Allen and has run creditably in two starts for current connections, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 21 days ago. One to consider in an open contest.

Sip Sip Hooray^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

9/1

€115,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare was easy to back and offered little when twelfth of 14 in bumper at Kilbeggan (15.5f, good) on NH debut 36 days ago, going in snatches. Improvement needed for significantly longer trip on hurdles debut but too soon to write off yet.

Sugar Cookie¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/2

Bumper runner-up didn't see out her race when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, soft) and proved a disappointment when easy to back at Killarney (22.4f) 18 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 3 out. Something to find on bare form but noted that Paul Townend keeps the faith.

Form: 2/05-P

Veras Bar³³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: Michael Barry

66/1

Offered little when eleventh of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 11 months. Significantly up in trip for hurdles bow but best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Derryville (7/4), She'll Be Kept (3/1), Sugar Cookie (7/2), Quarry Tiepy (13/2), Sip Sip Hooray (9/1), Two Become One (10/1), Fairys Fortune (14/1), Julie Liath (20/1), Call Me Rose (25/1), Prized Jet (28/1), Lastofthecitizens (66/1), Veras Bar (66/1), Elusive Ruby (125/1)

Consistent bumper performer DERRYVILLE could be the answer to a tricky puzzle now tackling a longer trip on hurdles debut. She'll Be Kept has less to prove than most following a pair of creditable efforts for new connections, while Two Become One could bounce back for this stiffer test. Of the Mullins trio, it could be significant that Paul Townend keeps the faith with bumper runner-up Sugar Cookie.
