Bargy Lady (2/7), Not A Whisper (7/1), At Rainbow's End (8/1), Ardean Lass (10/1), Play At Midnight (12/1), Strike Is Back (22/1), Gi Jayne (28/1), Jamies Sister (50/1), Pyrford Pippin (100/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (100/1)
This doesn't appear to be the strongest mares contest and so it will prove a disappointment if BARGY LADY cannot open her account. She was under the pump from some way out last time and just didn't appear to meet the final flight on a perfect stride, costing her the race. She did gallop strongly to the line however and is the one to beat in this field for the champion trainer/jockey team. The others with form are not inspiring, with Not A Whisper making an improved effort at Naas last month perhaps the pick. Newcomer Ardean Lass won a point-to-point last month and with a positive jockey booking looks best equipped to trouble the selection. Strike Is Back may be capable of better that she has shown to date and is respected for her trainer, while Gi Jayne has some merit on her recent point-to-point form.
- Bargy Lady
- Ardean Lass
