Lightly-raced maiden who found improvement when sixth of 15 in novice hurdle over similar trip at Cork (19f, good to soft) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Claims if building on that.

Off the mark fifth time of asking in Points but down the field in 3 maiden hurdles before falling on handicap debut over C&D last month. Others preferred.

Form: F1670F/

Hunskelper¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Harvey| T: C Collins

22/1

No real impact in a trio of bumpers and needs improvement to play a part on hurdles debut for new yard.

Keep The Head^h,t¹⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Harvey| T: P T Foley

50/1

Offered little in bumpers and been a similar story in a trio of starts in this sphere.

Form: 006P9P/

Lady Fromentro⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

11/2

Hinted at ability on debut but showed nothing at Fairyhouse last month and hopes of improvement may rest on longer trip.

Form: 68/

Mollys Dolly²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien| OR: 74

33/1

Poor hurdler who has yet to trouble the judge in a handful of starts and has failed to complete the last twice.

Form: 0876PP/

Moonlight Paradise¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: P Nolan| OR: 97

5/1

Well beaten over shorter trip latest but showed some ability in both starts previously and looks one of the likelier contenders here.

Form: 1750/

Rubi Tuesday⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Gary Noonan| T: E McCarthy| OR: 89

8/1

Back from 3 months off when creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle over similar trip at Cork 6 days ago. Entitled to build on that and merits consideration.

Form: 70085/6

Scathach⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 90

10/3

Shing Shang Lily^t1²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Gilligan| T: C Collins| OR: 96

5/1

Run creditably all 3 starts over hurdles, latest when fifth of 12 in novice at Clonmel (2½m, good to soft, 17/2) in October. Tongue strap on first time. Likely contender.

Form: 5755/

Strand Street Lass^t1³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 73

80/1

Yet to show any ability in 5 starts over hurdles and remains hard to recommend. Tongue strap on for first time.

Form: P0990P/

Dromana Mist⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Kiely

17/2

Didn't get far on debut but showed ability when seventh of 14 in juvenile hurdle (150/1) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 6 days ago and ought to have learnt plenty from that. Player.

Form: U/7

Forecasts

Scathach (10/3), Shing Shang Lily (5/1), Moonlight Paradise (5/1), Lady Fromentro (11/2), Ersudaly (7/1), Rubi Tuesday (8/1), Dromana Mist (17/2), Dictionary Corner (11/1), Hunskelper (22/1), Mollys Dolly (33/1), Keep The Head (50/1), Strand Street Lass (80/1)

Preference is for SHING SHANG LILY, who acquitted herself well in all 3 starts over hurdles last year. Dictionary Corner and Dromana Mist can also make their presence felt.
