Assertive Lady²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

8/1

Failed to complete in two Point-to-points but offered some encouragement on hurdling debut last month though the first three home did little for the form in runs since.

Form: FP5-

Burlesque Queen

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

20/1

Another to be making her debut. Second foal of a dam who won from 2m to 2m4f over hurdles and fences.

Form:

Harrys Gift¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett| T: D H Kelly| OR: 97

8/1

Has filled the runner up position on three occasions but hasn't progressed in handicaps of late and plenty to find on the ratings with the market leaders.

Form: 492206-

My Midnight¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

7/2

Promise when falling at the last on debut and bettered that when staying on third on second run at Sligo recently. The extra furlong today is in her favour and has more to come.

Form: F-3

Sunrise Lady³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R A Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 108

9/4

Plenty of experience and in good heart prior to slightly disappointing effort in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time. Back now in calmer waters and solid claims.

Form: 254420-

Tara Dylan¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 115

2/1

Proving hard to win with but usually seen in much better grade than this and her second to Cliff House in March is the best piece of form on offer though a suspicion this trip stretches her.

Form: 043920-

Tropical Stream²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: R J McGrath

50/1

Pulled up in a Point-to-point last month and now makes debut under rules with something to prove.

Forecasts

Tara Dylan (2/1), Sunrise Lady (9/4), My Midnight (7/2), Harrys Gift (8/1), Assertive Lady (8/1), Penny Out (8/1), Beechmount Maisie (14/1), Burlesque Queen (20/1), Bankoncarlo (25/1), Tropical Stream (50/1)

A weak mares only maiden and if there is market support for any of the newcomers it may be worth heeding as though with experience hardly set a high standard. SUNRISE LADY can only be given a tentative vote as the stronger stayer over Tara Dylan though Assertive Lady is of some interest having showed some ability in a Bumper recently.
