Talented bumper winner but has failed to meet expectations over hurdles so far, albeit contesting good Leopardstown handicaps the last twice. Drops in grade/trip here and could play a bigger role.
|
Fair Flat winner well held in 2 maiden hurdles last year.
|
150/1, showed a bit in 19f novice hurdle here on debut 3 months ago. Engaged 5.58 Sligo Tuesday.
|
Little impact in bumpers and held back by her jumping in 2 runs over hurdles 11 months apart.
|
80/1, unseated rider first in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month.
|
Easy winner of second start in points earlier this year but looked a longer term prospect in novice hurdle at Clonmel 4 weeks ago.
|
From a good French jumping family and fetched €280000 after a promising second start at Auteuil 3 years ago. Huge absence to overcome but that may not prove an issue on debut for Willie Mullins.
|
Crystal Ocean mare. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to top-class hurdler around 2m Darlan.
Modest maiden on the Flat who offered little in a pair of bumpers and is readily opposed on hurdles debut.
|
Bumper winner and has made a good start over hurdles, placed in a listed mares novice at Thurles before proving too keen 4 months on at Fairyhouse. Can build on that and seems sure to be thereabouts.
|
Well beaten in bumpers here 3 years apart.
|
Little promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles.
|
Three-time bumper winner who also won only start on the Flat in November and has shown plenty over hurdles whilst often highly tried, taking a keen hold before fading in the mud in Leopardstown Grade 1 in February. Capable of better.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner but possibly found wanting for stamina on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (2m) in February 2025.
|
Showed nothing in Cork bumper 8 weeks ago.
|
Half-sister to fair hurdler Jinxs Link (17f-2¼m winner, by Dylan Thomas). No form on Flat in Dundalk maidens.
|
Poet's Word filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Stuzzikini and fair hurdler Serpolette. Dam unraced.
Forecasts
Switch From Diesel (11/8), Salsinha (2/1), Full Of Shade (7/2), Aruntothequeen (13/2), Glendaars Crystal (20/1), Turn Up The Heat (25/1), Claudel (25/1), Barrogstown Girl (33/1), Chisel Hill (33/1), Cool As A Cat (33/1), Darby Hill (33/1), Valverdeagain (33/1), Dadou Part Two (50/1), Sky Lewis (100/1), Cinnabar Moth (100/1), Money Shuffler (150/1), Something Black (200/1), Siofra Beag (250/1)
This looks a good opening for SWITCH FROM DIESEL, who will benefit from the return to less testing conditions having also contested Grade 1s the last twice. She should get the job done. Salsinha and Full of Shade are the dangers.
