Form: 7/PP0-

13/2

€22,000 3-y-o, Wings of Eagles gelding. Half-brother to a point winner and fairly useful 19f/21f hurdle winner It's Hard To Know. Dam unraced. Made frame both starts in points, third last time (Jan 25).

Emerald Enigma⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

10/11

Buck's Boum mare. Dam (b104), bumper winner, closely related to high-class hurdler/smart chaser Identity Thief. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 13-runner bumper at Cork (2m) in March and looks the one to beat under a penalty.

Form: 1-

100/1

Went with no promise in bumper at Ballinrobe (2m, good) on debut last July.

11/4

€27,000 Workforce gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Knock House and dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Slige Dala, stays 3¼m. Placed on first of 2 starts in points and shaped like a stayer when runner-up to a good prospect over C&D on recent Rules debut. Must enter calculations.

Form: 3P/2-

Coolnagrattan^h1,t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Crawford

Poet's Word gelding. Dam 9.5f/10.4f winner. Wears hood and tongue strap for debut.

Mister Killeens¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

Form: 54/6-

My Uncle Jack

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: P Lawlor

11/1

Sea Moon gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdle winner/top-class chaser (stays 3¼m) Gerri Colombe. Bred more for stamina than speed.

Crios Cu Chulainn

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr A P Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

66/1

Idaho mare. Dam (b70), ran once in bumper, half-sister to top-class hurdler up to 3m (Champion Hurdle winner) Faugheen and 21f bumper winner Osmotic.

Mila Ballerina

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr H C Swan| T: C O'Dwyer

20/1

Australia mare. Closely related to very smart hurdler Jason The Militant, and half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Will Carver. Dam (c88/h85), 2m hurdle winner, sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Kinger Rocks. Makes plenty of appeal on paper so a market check is advised.

Daily Devotion⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hennessy

40/1

Flat-bred who went with no encouragement in bumper at Gowran (2¼m, heavy) on debut in March.

Forecasts

Emerald Enigma (8/11), Working Class Hero (4/1), My Uncle Jack (6/1), Ballito Beauty (7/1), Mister Killeens (14/1), Coolishael (14/1), Mila Ballerina (16/1), Coolnagrattan (25/1), Crios Cu Chulainn (33/1), Dark Eagle (50/1), Daily Devotion (66/1), Tale Of Intrigue (66/1), An Bhoireann (100/1), Mr Brentin (100/1)

EMERALD ENIGMA is sure to be suited by longer trips in due course, but she should have learnt plenty from her debut success at Cork and looks capable of defying a penalty. Working Class Hero is an obvious threat having been unlucky to bump into a good prospect on his recent debut in this sphere, while Mila Ballerina and Ballito Beauty are a couple of interesting newcomers who would also enter calculations if the market speaks in their favour.
