Jody Ted (16/5), Sit Down Lucy (16/5), Pats Choice (9/2), Hope Des Blins (9/2), Mica Malpic (11/2), Battle Of Mirbat (9/1), All Those Years (11/1)

Having finally opened her chase account at Sligo last month, HOPE DES BLINS is taken to follow up back in a handicap off what looks a reasonable enough mark. This is a tougher assignment, but she clearly relishes plenty of cut in the ground and could prove hard to peg back with that confidence-boosting Sligo success under her belt. Mica Malpic will be a threat if able to bounce back from a below-par effort last time and Jody Ted should also be in the mix if ready to roll following a break.
