10/1

Inagh's Gift³⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: S P Hennessy

50/1

Daughter of Oscar out of a Broken Hearted mare. Placed at Fairyhouse in April on debut before finishing last of 12 in a Naas bumper when last seen 12 months ago. Unlikely to be playing a part in the finish.

Form: 3/0-

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tyner

8/1

Form: 1-54

Sacred Spring

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J Archdeacon⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

28/1

Daughter of Gold Well out of a Flemensfirth mare. Dam unraced half-sister to Cobblers Queen, 2m4f/3m hurdle chase winner. Best watched on debut unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

50/1

By Stowaway out of a King's Ride mare. Half-sister to winners Yes Sir Brian, Garri Rule and bumper winner Greenhill Millie. Watching brief on racecourse debut.

Form:

Angels Dawn

20/1

By Yeats out of a Dylan Thomas mare. Dam, winner over 1m4f. Closely related to Crystal Rock winner over hurdles at 2m. Yards debutantes often come on for first run.

Form:

Annieguire^t1⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr P J Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

20/1

Daughter of Jeremy out of a Mandalus mare. Cost £25,000 at the Cheltenham sales in April. Expected to improve on disappointing debut at Naas last month.

Form: 2-9

Dreamingandhoping³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

1/1

Daughter of Shirocco. Dam was a poor race mare, but is a half-sister to a couple of fairly useful bumper performers. Outran her odds on debut when running Bigbadandbeautiful to 6L in a Navan bumper last month. Sets a high standard.

Form: 2

Raven Rule

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D Skehan⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Burke

66/1

Court Cave filly out of a Great Palm mare. Half-sister to The Minack, smart hurdle/chase winner over 2m4f and 3m1f. Looks a tough ask on debut.

Form:

Tucanae⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: P Nolan

4/1

Daughter of Yeats out of a US bred mare. Half-sister to a number of winners including top class chaser Dodging Bullets. Pleasing sixth of 22 beaten 7L on debut at Punchestown last month. Shaped well and looks a promising prospect.

Form: 16

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr P Power⁽⁷⁾| T: P E Collins

16/1

Daughter of Mahler out of a Pistolet Bleu mare. Half-sister to bumper winner Mount Pelier, winner over hurdles at 2m3f. Looks opposable on debut run.

Forecasts

Dreamingandhoping (1/1), Tucanae (4/1), Etincelle Lioterie (6/1), Nelly's Money (8/1), Family Business (10/1), Wildflower Girl (16/1), Annieguire (20/1), Angels Dawn (20/1), Sacred Spring (28/1), Stowaway Lass (50/1), Inagh's Gift (50/1), Raven Rule (66/1)

DREAMINGANDHOPING will look to build on a pleasing and encouraging debut effort finishing second of the 11 runners at odds of 66/1 in a Navan bumper last month. The daughter of Shirocco can land the spoils in the closer from the Joseph O'Brien-trained Etincelle Lioterie in the colours of Gigginstown House Stud, Tucanae for trainer Paul Nolan and the Noel Meade-trained Sacred Spring who appears the most interesting of the five debutantes.
