Showed a good attitude when winning a 9-runner bumper at Galway (16f, soft) on NH debut 76 days ago. Looks an above-average hurdling prospect.
|
Poet's Word mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Chalk It Down. Wears tongue strap. Not an obvious type on paper.
Winner of all 4 starts in bumpers, notably Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and Grade 1 at Punchestown. Beaten only by a race-fit rival when clear second on hurdles debut last month and should take all the beating.
|
Kingston Hill mare. 150/1, nineteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 13 months. Very hard to fancy.
|
Useful Flat winner. Promise when fourth of 19 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) on NH debut 26 days ago, not knocked about. Trainer going well. Should have more to offer.
|
Would have finished in frame when taking late fall on debut but shaped as if amiss when down the field at Naas last time. Best watched now.
|
Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1, ninth of 14 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) on bumper debut 15 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Needs to leave previous form well behind.
|
Successful on the second of 2 starts in points and looked a good prospect when winning 13-runner bumper (7/2) at Cork (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 8 months ago. Plenty of promise when third at Down Royal on hurdles debut 2 weeks ago and looks likely to improve.
|
28/1, again showed something when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Likely one for handicaps after this.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in bumper at Naas (16f, heavy, 100/1) 62 days ago, pulling hard. Makes hurdles debut. Difficult to recommend.
|
Promising runner-up on hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (20f) and won bumper at Tramore in November. Shaped well back over hurdles when fifth at Naas (19f, heavy, 9/1) 26 days ago and should improve.
|
Poor form in bumpers and didn't jump well when third of 4 in minor event hurdle (100/1) at this course (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Others preferred.
|
Bred to need time and distance and has finished down the field both starts over hurdles to date.
|
Long-standing maiden on Flat and over hurdles, though was placed twice at Sligo in the summer. Possibly amiss when last of 6 in handicap at Downpatrick last time and has since left Gordon Elliott.

Forecasts
Bambino Fever (4/11), Miss Doyenne (6/1), Cornelienne (6/1), Alliteration (10/1), Susie Lenglen (14/1), Whispering Hopes (16/1), Miss Georgina (33/1), Family Getaway (33/1), Annie's Belle (50/1), Little Ivy (50/1), Talas Kera (50/1), Ode To Joy (100/1), Tellmemamema (150/1), Castlerock Lady (200/1)
BAMBINO FEVER was the best around in bumpers last season and can make amends for her surprise defeat on hurdles debut. Miss Doyenne has herself won both a point and a bumper and looks the chief threat after a highly promising start over hurdles, with useful Flat sort Cornelienne also expected to take a significant step forward from her first experience of hurdling.
