14/1
Just modest form over hurdles to date, failing to improve when eighth of 14 on handicap debut at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft) 83 days ago, though appeals as the type to make a better chasing given her pointing background.

14/1
Modest hurdler who was out of her depth back over fences when tailed-off last of 6 to Westport Cove in Grade 3 at Roscommon (16.7f, good to soft) 31 days ago. This at least more suitable.

9/2
A modest winner over hurdles who showed better form sent chasing when second of 10 in maiden at Tramore (20.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago, running on. Entitled to do better and must enter calculations.

11/2
Fair hurdler who completed for the first time over fences when third of 10 in maiden chase at Tramore (20.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Hood back on and probably has more to offer in this sphere.

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, sixth of 11 in maiden chase at Sligo (21.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Entitled to do better.

11/1
Modest hurdler who posted a respectable third in a maiden at Killarney in August. Not bred for chasing, so it remains to be seen how he takes to this new discipline.

Forecasts

Stoneyford Lady (3/1), Kotkito Bello (4/1), Menas Miracle (9/2), Mount Shenshan (11/2), Game Phoenix (11/1), Whiskey Serenade (12/1), Quinn The Eskimo (14/1), Auntie Lacey (14/1), Laurie Blue (14/1), Figurehead (22/1), Milanaway (22/1)

Verdict

STONEYFORD LADY found only a thriving rival too good on her most recent hurdles start and could well be up to going one better on this switch to chasing starting out at an ordinary level. Menas Miracle made a pleasing start over fences when runner-up at Tramore recently and is entitled to improve, while Kotkito Bello is another to note.

  1. Stoneyford Lady3/1
  2. Menas Miracle9/2
  3. Kotkito Bello4/1
