Beir Bua²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Cian Quirke| T: A Slattery

3/1

Wexford bumper winner who showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when second in 13-runner Kilbeggan maiden last summer. Not seen since (tongue tie worn last twice removed) but seems sure to improve if all is well.

Form: 24312/

Brosna Queen³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle| T: S G Carey

6/1

Fair bumper winner who showed a bit more on second run over hurdles at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago and looks one for handicaps.

Form: 5175/P6-

Cola Blaze^h1,t⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: N Slevin| OR: 100

13/2

Modest bumper winner was highly tried in novices but proved too free on handicap debut at Down Royal (2½m) 8 weeks ago. Hood goes on with more needed.

Form: 04/7759-

Keilah^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: M M McNiff| OR: 104

16/1

Fair Flat winner who shaped as if needing the run on recent return for new yard here in a first-time tongue tie. Showed aptitude for hurdling for previous stable and not ruled out in this company.

Form: 743/

Lumiere Du Large^h,t⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 110

13/2

Flat winner in France who failed to progress over hurdles for Willie Mullins. Bit to prove starting out for another major stable but this is a thin maiden.

Form: 2084/58-

Oriole¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

15/2

Fairly useful Flat winner (in a lull when last seen in that sphere in the autumn).

Form:

Circus Hill²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Philip Byrnes| T: M M McNiff

10/1

Has shown plenty in 3 bumpers (went close here second start) and bred to do better now jumping (half-sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Mr Everest).

Form: 624/

Colugo^h,t¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: Ian Donoghue

33/1

Modest but consistent maiden on the Flat. First run for 5 months and improvement needed on hurdles debut.

Form:

Crystabel²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Slevin| T: J P Ryan

40/1

Capable of fair form (fourth when fell last at Killarney in August) but she looked a hard ride here when last seen 6 months ago.

Form: 276F7/

Leva Deva

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Collins

66/1

Idaho mare. Dam modest 2m hurdle winner.

Form:

Shegotrhythmtspare

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Keane

66/1

Poet's Word mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Regina Dracones, stayed 3¾m, and fair chaser Calvic. Yard among the winners at the weekend and she's worth a look on debut.

Form:

Tullyegan Jet⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: F Feeney

500/1

Hooded when pulled up (showed nothing) in bumper at Navan on debut in March.

Form: P-

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: N Lee

250/1

Fitted with a hood and well beaten in bumper here on debut last summer.

Form: 8/

Dont Break My Word

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Eoin Walsh| T: Ciaran Murphy

125/1

Poet's Word filly. Dam 19f-21f hurdle/chase winner.

Form:

Louie's Folly^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 102

3/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who has acquitted herself well over hurdles for this yard, looking stretched by 21f in the mud at Limerick last time. Return to a shorter trip will suit and she has strong claims in refitted headgear.

Form: 5/425-

Annalough^t²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr F J Gillen⁽⁷⁾| T: M M McNiff| OR: 72

200/1

Forecasts

Beir Bua (3/1), Louie's Folly (3/1), Brosna Queen (6/1), Lumiere Du Large (13/2), Cola Blaze (13/2), Oriole (15/2), Circus Hill (10/1), Keilah (16/1), Chisel Hill (25/1), Colugo (33/1), Crystabel (40/1), Shegotrhythmtspare (66/1), Leva Deva (66/1), Dont Break My Word (125/1), Annalough (200/1), Urinmydreams (250/1), Tullyegan Jet (500/1)

Bumper winner BEIR BUA showed plenty to work on sent hurdling at Kilbeggan when last seen in August and can make a successful return if all is well. Louie's Folly and Lumiere du Large are a couple of the likely dangers.
