Getaway gelding. Dam, ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Ted Dolly. Entitled to come on for the run. Yard also saddles Rush Slowly.

10/1

Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Collooney and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Inaminna. Dam bumper winner. Yard's strike rate in bumpers is hardly compelling.

8/13

Once-raced maiden. Hooded, second of 7 in bumper (11/1) at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut in March. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better if fully tuned-up.

Forecasts

Shadys Lady (8/13), Ozark's Walk (5/1), Seventeen B (9/1), Minnatrix (10/1), Onlyforfrankie (12/1), Blossomfort Flyer (14/1), Hi Handsome (40/1), Texas Red (50/1), Gaelic Empress (50/1), Gethegoodtimesroll (80/1), Rush Slowly (100/1)

SHADYS LADY didn't show a great deal in a maiden point back in 2023, but she pulled clear of the rest when chasing home a useful type in Switch From Diesel on her Rules debut in a Naas bumper in March. The winner went on to follow up in a listed race before finishing second in Grade 1 company, so that form look strong and Shadys Lady is confidently expected to emerge on top here. Ozark's Walk is preferred to newcomer Seventeen B for forecast purposes.
