Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 113| D

7/4

Winning Pointer has made a promising start to her hurdling career, off the mark with a smooth success in a 15-runner Limerick novice and improved when following up at Perth (20.2f) 8 days ago, defying a penalty with little fuss. Remains open to further improvement.

Form: 332-211

Adela Icon^h³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: K Callaghan⁽⁵⁾| T: W P Mullins| OR: 118

2/1

Showed a good attitude to beat a fairly useful sort on hurdles debut at Punchestown (16.7f) in February. Not in same form in a Listed race last month but could have a big say back down in class with yard still firing in the winners.

Form: 22/013-4

Derryville¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R P Treacy| T: S Curling

11/1

Consistent sort in bumpers, mixing it with some fair types. Justified favouritism on hurdles debut when winning 10-runner novice hurdle (7/4) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) and there may yet be further progress to come.

Form: 2325-31

Gers Gigi¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Finn Brickley⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 120

4/1

Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who returned to form when chasing home a stablemate to finish second of 4 in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (16.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago, benefitting from this jockey's 7 lb claim. Should go well again.

Form: 1F735-2

Jane Eire^h,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 119

6/1

Off the mark in a Cork maiden (16.3f) in November and faced with stiff tasks in Graded/listed company both starts in the spring prior to proving more competitive with her sights lowered when third of 4 in a Mares hurdle at Listowel (16.4f) 16 days ago. Lightly-raced and should remain competitive.

Form: 42109-3

Eye Of A Tiger¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: H E Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan

18/1

Made an encouraging start to her career when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 16 days ago, outpaced 2 out and stayed on again. Should improve for this longer trip.

Form: 2

Peg Of The Hills^t²⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: C G O'Dwyer⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Hayes

200/1

Took a small step forward from hurdles debut when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.8f, good). Off 8 months and is likely to be better off in handicaps.

Form: 0/46906-

Veras Bar⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: Michael Barry

250/1

Still in need of experience on second hurdles start when eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.7f, good) 6 days ago. One for the longer term.

Form: 0-98

Derreyah^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Liam Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: R Hackett

300/1

Fair form on sole start on Flat for Francis-Henri Graffard. Went with no promise following 19 months off when pulled up in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft, 20/1) on NH/stable debut 33 days ago. Significant improvement needed.

Form: P

Marvellous Margo⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ivan Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: Conor Maxwell

300/1

66/1 and went with no promise when seventh of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) on NH debut 65 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 7-

Forecasts

Emily Love (7/4), Adela Icon (2/1), Gers Gigi (4/1), Jane Eire (6/1), Derryville (11/1), Eye Of A Tiger (18/1), Peg Of The Hills (200/1), Veras Bar (250/1), Derreyah (300/1), Marvellous Margo (300/1)

Well held in a Listed race last time, ADELA ICON can take advantage of this marked drop in class and add to her debut hurdles debut win. Jane Eire has also mixed it at a higher level than this and is respected having returned to form last month, finishing just behind Gers Gigi who should again be competitive. Derryville wasn't fully extended when successful on hurdles debut and remains open to improvement.
