16/1

Prolific novice hurdler who got off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Tramore in May, despite finding 2m barely enough of a test. Possibly found race coming too soon at Punchestown 8 days later. Should still have more to offer as a chaser.

Form: 341-F13

1/1

Continued a theme of run-to-run progression over fences when winning 6-runner mares maiden at Tramore last time by 6 lengths from Future Prospect. Further improvement expected, so expected to be bang there back down in trip.

Form: 164-331

Lady Bluebird⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 125| D

8/1

Made a great start over fences when winning an 8-runner mares maiden by a length from Future Prospect, jumping soundly at the head of affairs and knuckling down well. Backed that up when 1¼ lengths second of 7 to Shadow Paddy in Grade 3 chase at Galway. This course will suit her trailblazing style.

Form: 1-26312

Miss Doyenne¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

5/2

Point and bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles but made the perfect start to her chasing career when winning 10-runner mares maiden at Killarney in May. Off since, but yard in good heart and she's clearly open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 11/331-1

Missus Beeton^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Gainford| T: J P Dempsey| D

12/1

Fairly useful hurdler, successful twice in mares handicaps last season. Showed aptitude for chasing when 20½ lengths third of 6 to Luker's Tipple in novice chase at Tramore last time. Open to improvement in this sphere but this looks too competitive.

Form: 117-093

Walks The Talk^h¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Harvey| T: J C McConnell

10/1

Winning pointer who won first 2 starts over hurdles prior to shaping better than the distance beaten suggests in better company at Haydock. Solid effort again when runner-up at Musselburgh in January but disappointing on final 2 starts. Makes chasing debut.

Forecasts

La Note Verte (1/1), Miss Doyenne (5/2), Lady Bluebird (8/1), Walks The Talk (10/1), Missus Beeton (12/1), Emily Love (16/1), Kelya (16/1)

LA NOTE VERTE has progressed with each start over fences and is taken to follow up her recent Tramore success. Lady Bluebird may lack the potential of some of these but has taken very well to chasing and could prove hard to peg back if allowed her own way in front. Miss Doyenne won on chase debut and remains open to improvement, though she may prove best over further.
