Bigbadandbeautiful⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott| D

6/5

Placed in a Grade 2 mares bumper at Leopardstown (2m, good) in February and has improved a little to win both starts since, the latest a Listed contest at Gowran. The one they all have to beat on form.

Form: 32-11

Darrens Hope¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D Kiely| T: R Murphy| D

33/1

Closely related to smart chaser Acting Lass, and this point winner ran out an impressive winner of a mares' maiden bumper at Cork. Ran well when fifth in a Grade 3 event in May, but needs forgiving a poor effort at Tipperary later that month.

Form: 4/411-57

La Chanteuse²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B G Crawford| T: S R B Crawford| D

33/1

Gradually progressive in bumpers, getting off the mark when beating Grumpy McGrumpface at Ayr early this month. That was an ordinary contest, however, and much more required at this level.

Form: 431

The Getaway Star²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr E P O'Brien| T: D Queally| D

5/2

Impressive winner of a Fairyhouse bumper in April, and improved when beating Getaway Gorgeous at Cork on her return to action. Clearly a smart prospect, and respected now raised in class.

Form: 1-1

Valentina Lady^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: P Nolan| D

10/1

Belatedly built on promise of debut second when winning a 22-runner bumper at Naas just over a fortnight ago. Needs to progress again stepping up in class, but going the right way.

Form: 27-1

Bioverdia²⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

12/1

Very impressive on debut at Ballinrobe, but struggled uppped markedly in class next time when 20L sixth to Gypsy Island at Punchestown. Should have learned from that experience, though, and no forlorn hope on return.

Form: 1-6

Global Equity²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: J P O'Brien| D

6/1

Promise when third on bumper debut at Tipperary in October, and didn't need to improve when winning a similar event at Galway next time. Bit more needed now, but is unexposed and should do better still.

Form: 31

Majestic Maid²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr M J O'Hare| T: M Kennedy| D

16/1

Improving with racing and broke her maiden when winning a good ground bumper at Galway in August. Placed on both starts since, behind The Getaway Star at Cork most recently. Vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form: 052133

Amber Wings²⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr P McNeilly| T: R McNeilly

66/1

Unplaced on all three starts, and while not beaten that far behind Gyspy Island at Naas in March, she looks to face a very stiff task at this level.

Form: 6/97-

Betty Zane

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr L J McGuinness| T: Mrs D A Love

66/1

Full-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Mind's Eye and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Beneficial Joe. Should make her mark given time, but this is a very tough introduction to racing under Rules.

Form:

Dreamingandhoping

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr D L Queally| T: D Queally

66/1

Dam was a poor racemare, but is a half-sister to a couple of fairly useful bumper performers. Tough ask on debut, and while trainer rides, the yard has a more obvious chance with The Getaway Star.

Form:

Forecasts

Bigbadandbeautiful (6/5), The Getaway Star (5/2), Global Equity (6/1), Valentina Lady (10/1), Bioverdia (12/1), Majestic Maid (16/1), La Chanteuse (33/1), Darrens Hope (33/1), Dreamingandhoping (66/1), Amber Wings (66/1), Betty Zane (66/1)

A race with some depth, which means that BIGBADANDBEAUTIFUL needs to be at her very best to defy her double penalty, but she looks a smashing prospect and is taken to bring up the hat-trick. The Getaway Star is unbeaten in two starts and is feared most, with Global Equity completing the shortlist.
