A Girl Like Me^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: A Lee

50/1

Left toiling in a number of below par starts in four career starts since April. Unseated at the third fence when sent off at 100/1 at Fairyhouse last month. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 7-09U

Chapter Two⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: I J McCarthy| T: T F Shaw| OR: 90

20/1

Placed at this venue in the past but has not built on a win at Cork over 3m in May last year, producing a couple of dismal efforts towards the end of the year. Plenty to find here.

Form: 323-100

Echoes Of Family²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Robbie Colgan| T: E P Harty

7/1

Four-race maiden of a bumper, hurdle and a couple of starts over the larger obstacles since the turn of the year beaten over 25L on each occasion. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 8556

Ilsnepasserontpas⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

33/1

Struggled since returning to action in October including a heavy 51L defeat in a Naas beginners chase when last seen in January and hasn't the form to be worthy of consideration here.

Form: 76-78P4

Kilbarry Calling³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: C O'Keeffe

3/1

Second of four beaten 3L adrift of Mrs Lovett on chasing introduction in a Thurles beginners contest in November. Has sent a number of mixed messages since though her second of nine beaten ½L at Leopardstown earlier this month puts her in the mix.

Form: 224542

Moyhenna²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 125| D

1/3

Decent hurdler. Made promising chase debut when runner-up in Grade 3 at Cork in December and has produced a couple of promising runs since despite a fall two out on latest start at Fairyhouse last month. One for the shortlist.

Form: 245-22F

Little Princess^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: M J Bolger| T: R O'Sullivan

33/1

A 22-race maiden under rules with 16 defeats coming over timber including a number of heavy defeats this term. Looks opposable on chasing debut.

Form: 570470

Uffizy²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D E Mullins| T: A Mullins

66/1

Modest five-race maiden well held and never nearer in four hurdle starts since November when well beaten over 39L on each occasion. Looks a long term prospect over fences.

Form: 08700

Forecasts

Moyhenna (1/3), Kilbarry Calling (3/1), Echoes Of Family (7/1), Chapter Two (20/1), Little Princess (33/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (33/1), A Girl Like Me (50/1), Uffizy (66/1)

The Denis Hogan-trained MOYHENNA can take the opening contest following on from a couple of promising runs despite a fall two out on latest start at Fairyhouse last month when still in contention. The solid and consistent sort, Kilbarry Calling can emerge as the biggest danger with the mare looking to build on her second of nine at Leopardstown earlier this month when beaten just ½L.
