Ealu^t1¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: S Curling

11/4

€58,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Was in with a shout when falling 2 out sole start between the flags and she's interesting on Rules debut. Wears tongue strap.

Form: F

Pedigreenpictures⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B T Stone⁽⁷⁾| T: S G Carey

Room For One More

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

7/2

Walk In The Park mare. Sister to 2 winners, and closely related to 2 winners, and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Tornado Flyer. Of obvious interest for top yard, which is also represented by Ruby Grace.

Form:

Ruby Grace

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

9/2

Kapgarde mare. Dam, 2½m hurdle winner, sister to Champion Hurdle winner Rock On Ruby. Noteworthy newcomer from powerful stable, albeit Room For One More is presumably the stable No 1.

Form:

Shadonagh

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

16/1

Poet's Word mare. Dam, 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdle winner/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Flanking Maneuver. Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

Whiskey Fever⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr S Cotter⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath

125/1

Westerner mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m winner) Got The Nac. Little form of note in points and she's passed over on Rules debut.

Form: RU5/6F

Shirzan⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr L P Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey

40/1

Once-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 15 in juvenile hurdle at this course (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 64 days ago. Makes bumpers debut.

Forecasts

Araminta (6/4), Ealu (11/4), Room For One More (7/2), Ruby Grace (9/2), Poetic Twist (6/1), Shadonagh (16/1), Shirzan (40/1), Pedigreenpictures (40/1), Whiskey Fever (125/1)

The vote goes to ARAMINTA, who pulled well clear of the rest when second on debut at Fairyhouse and her subsequent fourth in a Grade 2 over this C&D was by no means a step in the wrong direction. She is taken to make it third time luckly, perhaps at the chief expense of the Willie Mullins-trained newcomers Room For One More and Ruby Grace. That said, Ealu is well worth a second look and Poetic Twist also has a chance.
