11/2

Bumper winner returns to a maiden having failed to build on a more promising effort when pulled up in handicap at Clonmel last February. Has been competitive following a break previously, though

Jenny's Bar

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney

Golden Lariat mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Cornakill Rose. Dam unraced. Newcomer doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

2/9

Knocking on the door, trading at 1.01 in-running when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month. Should go one better.

Meghan Mala

20/1

Mahler mare. Dam (c104/h110), 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Sporting John. Pedigree offers some hope but likely to need more time.

Well held both starts to date.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: S G O'Donnell| C

125/1

Fair handicapper at best on Flat (stays 7f) but no form since 2023 and hard to get excited now sent hurdling.

Form:

Windy Grey

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: John Aherne⁽⁷⁾| T: A O'Grady

50/1

Yeats mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (2½m-2¾m winner) Great Endeavour and useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 3¼m) Daklondike. Enough in her pedigree to warrant a market check, but likely to need further.

Form:

Magicsoakinmyspine

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: Bernard Crowley

80/1

Elusive Pimpernel filly. Dam (b72), lightly raced in bumpers, half-sister to useful 23f chase winner Soldier In Milan. Yard an unlikely source of debut winners.

Form:

Rebel Queen²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: C Motherway

7/1

Bred to need time/distance and shaped accordingly on hurdle debut at this course 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Likealightswitch (2/9), Shesakindofmagic (9/4), Chautuaqua (11/2), Rebel Queen (7/1), Meghan Mala (20/1), Jenny's Bar (22/1), Windy Grey (50/1), Ballinaboola Hanna (50/1), Magicsoakinmyspine (80/1), The Fog Horn (125/1), Mo Chailin Mor (200/1)

LIKEALIGHTSWITCH can gain a deserved success, while there's reasonable optimism that Shesakindofmagic and Chautuaqua can bounce back to be competitive.
