Alliteration⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: J P Dempsey

11/1

Showed a good attitude when winning a 9-runner bumper at Galway (16f, soft) on NH debut 80 days ago. Step up in trip ought to suit now hurdling.

Form: 1

Annie's Belle^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Connell

150/1

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.

Form:

Bambino Fever³⁰

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

1/10

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.

Form: 11111/2

Castlerock Lady³⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: P Downey

200/1

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.

Form: 0/

Cornelienne³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: J P O'Brien

7/2

Useful Flat winner. Promise when fourth of 19 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) on NH debut 30 days ago, not knocked about. Trainer going well. Should have more to offer.

Form: 4

Family Getaway³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

33/1

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 for now.

Form: F0

Lady Victrix²²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

200/1

Tongue strap on and showed only greenness when pulled up in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.6f, good, 50/1) on NH debut. Off 7 months/down in trip on first run for yard after leaving Maurice Ahern.

Form: P

Little Ivy^h¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1, ninth of 14 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) on bumper debut 19 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Needs to leave previous form well behind.

Form: 4/069

Miss Georgina⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: A Lee

50/1

28/1, again showed something when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Likely one for handicaps after this.

Form: 8/65

Ode To Joy⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁵⁾| T: W J McLernon

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in bumper at Naas (16f, heavy, 100/1) 66 days ago, pulling hard. Makes hurdles debut. Difficult to recommend.

Form: 80

Scathach¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan

50/1

Only hinted at ability when well held in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (2m, good) on debut 19 days ago.

Form: 0

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Kieren Buckley| T: E Buckley

Bred to need time and distance and has finished down the field both starts over hurdles to date.

Forecasts

Bambino Fever (1/10), Cornelienne (7/2), Miss Doyenne (13/2), Alliteration (11/1), Family Getaway (33/1), Miss Georgina (50/1), Little Ivy (50/1), Scathach (50/1), Annie's Belle (150/1), Lady Victrix (200/1), Tellmemamema (200/1), Castlerock Lady (200/1), Ode To Joy (250/1)

BAMBINO FEVER was the best around in bumpers last season and can make amends for her surprise defeat on hurdles debut. Miss Doyenne herself has won both a point and a bumper and looks the chief threat after a highly promising start in this sphere, with useful Flat sort Cornelienne also expected to take a significant step forward from her first experience over hurdles.
