11/4
Fair bumper winner who ran her best race over hurdles when fifth of 16 in maiden at Sligo (2¼m, good to soft, 6/1) 32 days ago. May do better again.

Third at Cork (19f) in March and pressing the winner when falling at the last in a maiden at Limerick (2½m, soft) 16 days ago. Open to further improvement and the one to beat for top yard.

4/1
Placed twice from 4 starts in points, runner-up last time (Feb 21). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling.

13/2
Multiple point winner showed first form under Rules in hunter chase here in March. Some promise in a couple of course maiden hurdles this spring but might be more one for handicaps.

12/1
Modest form in bumpers and Roscommon maiden hurdle last year. Tailed off on Killarney return 33 days ago and cheekpieces are reached for after that.

80/1
Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Hang In There and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Logical Song. Makes paper appeal so worth a precautionary betting check.

9/2
Shirocco mare who made it third time lucky in points last month. With a good yard for her Rules career and interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Modest maiden hurdler. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Thurles (23f, good to soft, 22/1) when last seen in October. Off 8 months. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Brosna Queen (11/4), Ardeen Joy (11/4), Everyday Life (4/1), Spring Waltz (9/2), Hathaways Cottage (13/2), Miss Jocund (12/1), Vroomvroomboo (12/1), Rumble Demosa (80/1), Bethpage Theatre (150/1), Torque De Lune (250/1)

Verdict

ARDEEN JOY still held every chance when coming down at the final flight at Limerick and can gain compensation now. Henry de Bromhead's point-recruit Spring Waltz would rate a possible threat if the betting speaks in her favour. Brosna Queen is next on the list.

  1. Ardeen Joy11/4
  2. Spring Waltz9/2
  3. Brosna Queen11/4
