Bayswater Bloom^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Donovan| T: Miss E McCutcheon

80/1

Shaped with a little encouragement on second run over hurdles and ran up to best in bumpers when third of 14 at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) 9 days ago. Back hurdling and it could be handicaps after this where she shines.

Form: 5-68783

Cloudy Rosie^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: Richard Morrissey

14/1

Placed in points and showed more than first time up tried tongue tied when third of 8 in bumper at Tramore (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Upped in trip for this hurdling debut.

Form: 332-43

Katie Can't Count^t1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 102

17/2

Finished mid-field in bumper and showed improved form on third start in this sphere when second of 8 in maiden at Killarney (17f, good to soft) earlier in the month, seeing her race out having settled better dropped in trip. First-time tongue tie applied and she should go close.

Form: 4F62

200/1

Diamond Boy mare. Dam (c113/h105), 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, sister to fair hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Andi'amu. Big outsider on debut.

Red Acres Georgie¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

5/4

A 6-figure purchase after running out an easy winner of second start in points. Showed little in 2 bumpers but showed improved form on third start over hurdles when second of 12 in maiden at Fairyhouse (2m, good) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Considered back up in trip.

Form: 1/77-F42

Run For Power^v1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 96| BF

14/1

Tailed off in bumper and yet to better modest form in 4 maiden hurdles, including when gambled on in first-time cheekpieces at Killarney earlier in the month. Visor now tried but it may be handicaps where she takes off.

Form: 04-665

Shadonagh^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

28/1

Regressed in bumpers following her debut fourth at Leopardstown. Shaped like a stayer when fourth of 10 on hurdling debut and best not judged on her latest effort back at an inadequate trip 12 days ago. Return to 2½m should suit but looks one for handicaps.

Form: 45-043

Wicked Pleasure²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead| BF

15/8

Well-related daughter of Harzand. Shaped with promise in a couple of bumpers on testing ground at Thurles/Gowran last winter and made the frame sent hurdling after 8 months off when fourth at Roscommon (2½m, good to soft) recently. Worth chancing with that under her belt.

Form: 33-4

Cala Gracioneta^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: James Smith⁽³⁾| T: M J Smith

11/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and shaped with some promise sent hurdling when fifth of 13 in maiden at Punchestown (2½m, good to soft) 9 days ago, doing well to work her way on to the tail of the leaders here given her jumping. Open to improvement.

Form: 5

Senorita Diana²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Fahy

300/1

Little promise in 2 bumpers in the spring and fared no better on recent hurdling debut.

Form: 0-90

Weaponized²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Sugrue⁽⁷⁾| T: S Doyle

14/1

Walk In The Park filly who found one too strong in a couple of bumpers back in the spring. Always behind upped in grade on recent return at Gowran and attentions are now turned to hurdling.

Form: 228

Forecasts

Red Acres Georgie (5/4), Wicked Pleasure (15/8), Katie Can't Count (17/2), Cala Gracioneta (11/1), Weaponized (14/1), Cloudy Rosie (14/1), Run For Power (14/1), Shadonagh (28/1), Carleys Lilly (33/1), Ballito Beauty (66/1), Bayswater Bloom (80/1), Lyla Gift (200/1), Senorita Diana (300/1)

Plenty of dead wood in this maiden but the vote goes to WICKED PLEASURE, who made the frame sent hurdling after 8 months off at Roscommon recently and Henry de Bromhead's mare is entitled to come on from that here. Katie Can't Count showed improved form in this sphere last time, so she's put forward as the main danger sporting a first-time tongue tie, with Red Acres Georgie completing the shortlist.
