Miss Australie¹³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 59

16/1

Modest maiden who ran badly on all-weather last time and is hard to fancy.

Fianna^t1²⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A A Howard| OR: 57

14/1

Fair maiden who hasn't fired last 2 starts and is now tried in a tongue strap (headgear discarded) for new yard on return from 278 days off. Something to prove.

Mystic Rose¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: P Magee| OR: 57

22/1

One of better efforts when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown 11 days ago but this demands plenty more back up in trip.

Form: 06/70-64

You Make Me Smile²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: P A Fahy| OR: 56| D

9/1

Back to winning ways over hurdles in October and followed up on the Flat at Galway (visored) 3 days later. Probably needed run when midfield at Navan last time and can make a better fist of things here.

Form: 78821-7

Numidia^v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: P Lawlor| OR: 55

11/1

Won at Dundalk in November. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap there (2m) 26 days ago but has a bit to find back on turf. Visor back on.

Form: 9145-64

Ethelwulf^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 53

25/1

Best effort since joining this yard when sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (9.6f, soft) 13 days ago, but more still required to break his duck. Back up in trip with cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 26-8706

Royal Belief²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: C Collins| OR: 52

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat but was much improved over hurdles when winning 12-runner event at Limerick (2m, soft, 6/1) 22 days ago. Unexposed as a stayer and booking of Colin Keane catches the eye so he's one to be positive about.

Bhean Saibhre^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A A Howard| OR: 50| BF

2/1

Wide-margin winner over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer and produced good third of 12 in handicap at Navan (1¾m, heavy) on reappearance 23 days ago. A similar effort can see her make the frame here.

Form: 499/23-3

Bynx¹⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hassett| OR: 50| BF

18/1

Remains a maiden on the Flat but won 12-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (2½m, good to soft) 6 months ago. Off since but conditions should suit if ready to go and she merits plenty of respect.

Form: 623330-

Idomything^h¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Leigh Roche| T: T Cleary| OR: 48

50/1

Winner at Bellewstown in October but followed that with 3 tame efforts and returns from 159 days off with something to prove.

Form: 641008-

Ethereal Star¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M Hassett| OR: 46

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran best when third of 9 in handicap at Killarney (11.3f) in July, staying on. Struggled on return from 9 months off last time but return to this trip should help her.

Form: 07003-0

(7)

Masego¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: N G McCullagh| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 41

17/2

Lightly raced and produced creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (9.6f, soft) 13 days ago, keeping on. Looks open to progression over this longer trip.

Form: 0000/0-5

(12)

Prom Queen¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: A McCann| OR: 40

10/1

Shown only poor form to date but creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (9.6f, soft) 13 days ago was one of her better efforts and she's not without hope if the longer trip does the trick.

Form: 04002-4

Forecasts

Bhean Saibhre (2/1), Royal Belief (3/1), Deluca Chop (8/1), Masego (17/2), You Make Me Smile (9/1), Prom Queen (10/1), Numidia (11/1), Fianna (14/1), Haeret In Pectore (14/1), Miss Australie (16/1), Bynx (18/1), Mystic Rose (22/1), Ethereal Star (25/1), Ethelwulf (25/1), Almenfee (33/1), Idomything (50/1)

ROYAL BELIEF catches the eye with Colin Keane booked to ride and any progress for the longer trip looks sure to give him a good chance on the back of a recent win over hurdles. Bhean Saibhre and Bynx also make appeal based on their jumping exploits.
