Fair Damsel⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: C Collins| OR: 100

28/1

Maiden hurdle winner who was sixth of 8 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel 53 days ago (final run for Richard Brabazon). Worth a betting check for new yard.

Form: 5/2140-6

Bearami Creek¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 99

14/1

Winner at Navan (19f, good to soft) in September but well held back from a break at Clonmel (2m, soft) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip now.

Form: 701450

Jetaway Nana¹⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins| OR: 99

11/1

Winner of 3m maiden hurdle at Wexford last summer. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse in November. Claims if ready to roll after 5 months off.

Form: 41B304

Lakewood Rose³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Miss N C Hennessy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss N Hennessy| OR: 99

14/1

Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles but handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance.

Form: 47P666

Lady Bluebird^b1⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 95

18/1

Bumper/hurdle winner in 2024 but hard to get too excited by what she's achieved since. First-time blinkers need to have a positive effect.

Form: 080-075

Whitewinewednesday¹⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Cian Quirke| T: M A Daly| OR: 91

14/1

Modest maiden. 12/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Limerick (21f, soft) when last seen in October. Less exposed than some of these.

Form: 109347

Might Be The One¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: A McNamara| OR: 88

3/1

Placed in 2m handicaps at Naas and Clonmel in recent weeks. Has also run well over this longer trip. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 742532

Dancing After Dark^p1,t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J G Bennett| OR: 87

12/1

Failed to come on for reappearance when pulled up in handicap at Cork (3m, good to soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces are added on the back of that.

Form: 7149-4P

Turkey And Ham^t³⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 87

9/2

Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Kilbeggan (2¼m, good) last April but hasn't been seen since. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of the lay-off.

Form: 4/03461-

Navy Waves^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Treacy| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 86

33/1

Latest win in hurdle at Galway in September. Off 5 months, remote sixth of 11 in handicap at Cork (3m, good to soft) 32 days ago.

Form: 010876

Cocoplum⁶¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: P J McKenna| OR: 85

33/1

Modest and long-standing maiden for Colin McBratney. Been off for 617 days and best watched for new yard unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form: 753/569-

Ballinagaine Girl¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 82

28/1

Well held in a bumper and 3 maiden hurdles but more realistic chance now handicapping. Worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 0670

Ballinaboola Gold²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: R Donohoe| OR: 81

10/1

Poor form, including well held in 2 handicaps last month.

Form: 07U700

Barrowline⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Niall Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan| OR: 77

25/1

Pulled up on handicap debut last month and looks of little account at this stage.

Form: P0008P

Yoursimplythebest⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Keane| OR: 77

7/2

Pulled up at Fairyhouse in January but placed in her first 3 handicaps prior to that. Claims if a short break has had a reviving effect.

Form: 0-0332P

La Rocca Lass⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Dylan Robinson| T: Dermot Day| OR: 76

66/1

Placed in a bumper but no form over hurdles, including a handicap. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Dolly Watkins (11/4), Might Be The One (3/1), Yoursimplythebest (7/2), Turkey And Ham (9/2), Courageous Cleo (11/2), Ballinaboola Gold (10/1), Jetaway Nana (11/1), Dancing After Dark (12/1), Lakewood Rose (14/1), Whitewinewednesday (14/1), Bearami Creek (14/1), Lady Bluebird (18/1), Barrowline (25/1), Fair Damsel (28/1), Ballinagaine Girl (28/1), Navy Waves (33/1), Cocoplum (33/1), Roccabaker (33/1), La Rocca Lass (66/1)

DOLLY WATKINS has made steady progress in handicaps and might be able to cope with a 7 lb rise for Limerick. Might Be The One arrives on the back of 2 good placed efforts this spring and is next on the list ahead of Yoursimplythebest, who is sure to have a say if bouncing back to the form she showed when placed 3 times at the end of 2025.
