Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey

100/1

Fascinating Rock mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Drumgill. Dam (b75) lightly raced in bumpers. Not an obvious type on debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

150/1

300/1, first run since leaving Patrick J. Flynn when a remote eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Cork (19f) 35 days ago.

Form: RP/8-

Divaboriva³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Jonathan Sweeney| OR: 117

4/7

Bumper winner was creditable fifth of 20 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) 36 days ago. Sets the bar pretty high amongst those with hurdling experience.

Evelyn^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Treacy| T: Mrs J Cashin| OR: 94

40/1

Placed in a Galway bumper in September, before showing improved form on her second hurdles start when sixth of 16 in maiden at Thurles the following month. Hasn't kicked on since, but might hold frame claims in a race that lacks depth.

Form: 360803/

Golden Wings^h⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

16/1

Mid-field in a bumper and shaped like a stayer when third of 20 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.6f, heavy, 80/1) in January. Reportedly suffered an overreach at Limerick last time. Longer trip should suit if able to get back on track.

Form: P9/3P-

Hillhead Runner²³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 112

8/1

Runner-up in maidens at Bellewstown and Sligo last summer but below-par eighth at Navan when last seen. Makes yard debut (formerly trained by Gavin Cromwell) after 7 months off.

Form: 42F328/

Isdistheone²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Murphy

66/1

Only poor form in 3 starts over hurdles and soundly beaten back in a bumper last time.

Form: 466756/

La Cote Fleurie²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead

6/1

Walzertakt filly was strong in the betting and ran out a fairly impressive winner of an 11-runner Tipperary bumper (2m, good to soft) in October. The one to beat if taking to hurdles after 7 months off.

Form: 1/

Local News

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: Richard Hennessy

100/1

Malinas mare. Half-sister to modest chaser Hollywood Harmon. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Bob Lingo and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Talk The Lingo. Might need time and distance.

Form:

Miss Georgina⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: John Shinnick| T: A Lee| OR: 100

12/1

Modest form when in frame on her last 3 starts in maiden hurdles and though she could do similar again here, she'll likely have much better chance of breaking her duck when in handicaps.

Form: 865443/

Noble Name^h,t¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: James Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Connell| D

7/1

Point/bumper winner ran to a fair level in 2 maiden hurdles in the autumn and would hold place claims if returning from 6-month break in the same form.

Form: S51435/

Ri Ra^h²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Barry⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dunne

200/1

Form: 9/70-

Tillyiver^h1,t²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: Leonard Flynn

250/1

No sign of ability in a bumper/2 maiden hurdles last summer. Returns from 8 months off in first-time hood.

Form: 69P/

Ann Bulkley¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: M F Morris

14/1

Fourth in 2 juvenile hurdles prior to Christmas when trained by Ciaran Murphy but that still only amounts to poor form and she'll need to improve returning for new yard after a break.

Form: 44/

Dceilingcantholdus²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Luke Burke Ott⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ott

200/1

Third both starts in points but came in last of 4 in hunter chase at Cork (3m, soft, 9/1) on Rules debut last month and down the field in a Limerick maiden hurdle 10 days later. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Divaboriva (4/7), La Cote Fleurie (6/1), Noble Name (7/1), Hillhead Runner (8/1), Miss Georgina (12/1), Rebel Queen (12/1), Ann Bulkley (14/1), Golden Wings (16/1), Eagle River (33/1), Evelyn (40/1), Drumadeise (50/1), Isdistheone (66/1), Local News (100/1), Bethpage Theatre (100/1), Darby Hill (100/1), Eagle Doll (100/1), Dictionary Corner (150/1), Dceilingcantholdus (200/1), Ri Ra (200/1), Tillyiver (250/1)

LA COTE FLEURIE was the tidy winner of a Tipperary bumper in the autumn and has been found a good opportunity on her hurdles bow. Divaboriva has plenty of experience and should pose the biggest threat, with Hillhead Runner taken to complete the 1-2-3.
