Selected odds by:

Moonshine Bay¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 126| D

1/1

Thought good enough to compete in the Grade 3 novice hurdle at Clonmel in February but was never going before being pulled up. Capable of having his say in this company.

Form: 86-1PP8

Tourboy^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: I J McCarthy| T: M Fahey| OR: 121| D

8/1

Has failed to finish his last two starts including when held up for most of the way before being pulled up at Punchestown last month. Has work to do on current form.

Form: 0/1P9-FP

The Conditional¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: A E Lynch| T: M Hassett| OR: 124| D

2/1

Sent off at odds of 100/1 on his last start in the Grade 1 novice hurdle at Punchestown last month. Looks up against it here.

Form: 1-52140

Baily Moon^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: M F Morris| OR: 99| D

9/1

Finished fourth of 10 beaten 22L on sole start over hurdles at Kilbeggan last summer. Needs to improve on that run in this company.

Form: 21419-P

Ardean Lass^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 105| D

10/1

Solid enough on a couple of occasions since the turn of the year and worth a market check with the yard winning at Perth last month.

Form: 233333

Forecasts

Moonshine Bay (1/1), The Conditional (2/1), Tourboy (8/1), Baily Moon (9/1), Ardean Lass (10/1)

The Jessica Harrington-trained MOONSHINE BAY was keeping on well after the last at the Punchestown festival to eventually finish fifth of the 25 runners last month over this trip and should have enough in the locker to land this contest. Baily Moon and the Stuart Crawford-trained Ardean Lass are the best of the rest in this modest renewal.
