Selected odds by:
Doyen mare. Closely related to bumper winner/ useful hurdler Sealous Scout, and half-sister to fair hurdler O Ceallaigh. Has run to a similar level on both starts and does not need to improve in order to figure.
Beaten 29L on bumper introduction. The form has been working out nicely and rider has a 35% strike rate for the yard in bumpers.
Motivator mare finished last on debut and faces an uphill task to improve enough and make her presence felt.
Shaped well in two autumn bumpers before getting thrown into the deep end last time. This would be her easiest task to date and the jockey booking looks significant.
Showed some ability in point-to-points and performed creditably on bumper debut 18 days ago, although that form looks weak in comparison to some.
Fourth to two of the country's best bumper horses on debut but tailed off next time. Return to a sound surface gives her a chance to prove that run wrong.
Fame And Glory half-sister to a 2m4f winning hurdler and a winning point-to-pointer. Would not need to be anything special to make a winning debut and one to keep an eye on in the market.
Unfancied prior to finishing a well-beten fifth on debut. The bit slipped through her mouth on that occasion and a hood is applied to help her settle. Probably has too much to prove at present.
Salutino mare out of a dam who was a bumper winner. Trainer 2-57 with bumper runners in past five years.
Sholokhov mare out of a dam who won eight races and who has produced a winning point-to-pointer. Stable have gone 929 days without a winner.

Forecasts
Cotton End (9/4), Penny Out (5/2), Ballyshannon Rose (6/1), Mystical Mover (7/1), Infinite Glory (7/1), Elk Bridge (10/1), Hidden Sapphire (10/1), Farney Villa (16/1), Mandy's Quine (20/1), Watergate Lady (33/1), Alarmist (100/1)
Cotton End is dropped in class and her two autumn runs look good enough on paper with Patrick Mullins on board for the first time. However, she has not looked the easiest of rides and Scorpion's progeny can be fragile. With that in mind MYSTICAL MOVER gets the vote. Jamie Codd is a highly significant booking given his strike rate for the yard. She needs to improve on her debut effort in order to figure, but that was a stronger race than this and there must be a realistic chance that she has learnt enough to put up a good display.
- Mystical Mover
- Cotton End
- Ballyshannon Rose
