25/1

€30,000 3-y-o, Sir Percy mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart hurdlers Lac Fontana, stayed 3m, and All Yours. Dam 6.5f/7f winner in France. Noteworthy newcomer for good yard. Worth a market check.

Galileo Dame²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 129

4/6

Remains a maiden over hurdles but was runner-up in a Grade 1 as a juvenile and came in a respectable tenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (18f, heavy) 27 days ago. The clear form pick.

Form: 226-20

Mollys Star

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: P E Collins

40/1

Vadamos mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful French 2¼m chase winner Sans Histoire.

Question Asked²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Tom Dreaper

300/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 400/1, fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Lots to find on form.

Form: 000

Rose Of The Sea⁴²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell

300/1

250/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft) on NH debut 14 months ago for E. Sheehy. Needs this yard switch to spark major improvement.

Form: P/

Shadys Lady^h³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: D Queally| D

9/4

Fairly useful 2m winner in bumpers. Built on her hurdling debut when fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy) 33 days ago. May do better still so possibilities.

Form: 52/3194

Shanliss Tricks^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Harvey| T: P E Collins

100/1

Vadamos filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Amarillo Sky and modest hurdler Leahs Tricks. Wears hood for debut and is probably one for the longer-term unless the market suggests otherwise.

Form:

Sound Judgement⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

13/2

Successful sole outing in points and made a positive start under Rules when third in bumper at Punchestown in December. Pulled up on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (9/2) following month but he's in good hands and worth another chance.

Form: 1/3P

The Dotski²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

9/1

Getaway mare who made a promising start when fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 28/1) 25 days ago. Open to improvement and in the mix here.

Form: 5

Hunting Gold⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Dylan Robinson| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

125/1, never-dangerous debut fifth of 14 in conditions hurdle at Naas in December. Likely one more for the longer-term.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Galileo Dame (4/6), Royal Hillsborough (6/4), Shadys Lady (9/4), Sound Judgement (13/2), The Dotski (9/1), Baby Fish (25/1), Mollys Star (40/1), Hunting Gold (66/1), Shanliss Tricks (100/1), Question Asked (300/1), Rose Of The Sea (300/1)

GALILEO DAME is still to score in this sphere but she has kept some good company and is fancied to gain her breakthrough victory at the chief expense of hurdling debutante Royal Hillsborough who brings useful bumper form and rates a big danger. The Dotski and Baby Fish appeal as the pick of the remainder in the battle for minor honours.
