Betsy Boots¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Mulholland

7/1

Produced a career best at Down Royal a month ago but failed to back it up at Galway. Has each-way prospects if bouncing back.

Form: 8326

Clurichaun

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: H P Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael G Cleary

50/1

Unraced daughter of Tagula out of a moderate dam who comes from a good family. Unlikely to be good enough to take this and sure to be available at lengthy odds.

Form:

Krujers Girl⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R P Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: T J Gray

33/1

Definite Article mare who is a half-sister to the bumper/hurdles winner Myztique. Down the field in a Listed event on debut but should find this a more acceptable level.

Form: 7

Petite Buck's⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/1

Small King's Theatre mare who is a half-sister to More Buck's. Not knocked about when held on Kilbeggan debut and this looks tougher. Yard 13-44 in bumpers here.

Form: 5

Biddy The Boss¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G P Cromwell

15/8

Yard are just 1-19 in bumpers but she produced a huge run on debut at Tramore in a race that has worked out well enough. Jockey booking is a sign of intent.

Form: 2-

Juniors Angel²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr H D Dunne⁽⁵⁾| T: P Croke

50/1

Tailed off on debut and faces a huge task now competing with more likely types from the bigger yards.

Form: 9

Maple Lawn^h1¹²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss K Harrington⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

8/1

Alkaadhem filly has switched to top yard following an inauspicious Tramore debut. The change of scenery and hood need to work wonders.

Form: 7

Moonlight Escape¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Ms N Carberry| T: G Elliott| BF

8/1

Court Cave filly cost €18,000 as a three-year-old. Weak favourite on debut when lacking pace in the closing stages. Looks capable of winning a mares bumper and yard 13-49 in this type of race here.

Form: 3

Our Nest Egg

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: W F Treacy

25/1

Scorpion filly out of an unraced dam who is a half-sister to three winners including two who picked up bumpers. Rider good value for his claim and worth a market check.

Form:

Sister Cyclone^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr A H Wells⁽⁷⁾| T: Alan Wells

50/1

By Shirocco's brother September Storm out of a moderate mare. Half-sister to a winning hurdler and from a yard who have yet to make the frame with their 13 runners since 2014.

Form:

Uisce Solas^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J E Kiely

4/1

Daughter of Presenting and first foal of a well-related dam who won a bumper. Interesting pedigree but yard are just 4-76 in bumpers over the past five seasons.

Forecasts

Biddy The Boss (15/8), Uisce Solas (4/1), Petite Buck's (4/1), Betsy Boots (7/1), Moonlight Escape (8/1), Maple Lawn (8/1), Our Nest Egg (25/1), Krujers Girl (33/1), Juniors Angel (50/1), Sister Cyclone (50/1), Clurichaun (50/1)

No surprise to see representatives from the big two yards in this. Petite Buck's did not leave that favourable impression on her debut and needs to raise her game here. Biddy The Boss looked a more likely type to follow after a good run on her debut in a race that has worked out since and the jockey booking is a positive. Gordon Eliiott has his team in fine shape at present and can cap what should be a good day for the team with MOONLIGHT ESCAPE. The filly was tapped for toe on her Navan debut in a slowly run race. That run is as good as anything on show and she can build on the experience. Uisce Solas has the most appealing pedigree of the newcomers, whilst Our Nest Egg looks one to keep a check on in the market with a rider booked who has a good record in these races.
