Selected odds by:

Bally Upper¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

150/1

Fourth foal; half-sister to hurdle/chase winner Better Days; difficult to asses given she failed to complete either of her point-to-point outings to date.

Form: PP-

Bavarian Girl¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Brien

14/1

Another who is difficult to assess given she fell on her point-to-point debut in January and unseated her rider at the first flight on racecourse debut at Limerick four days later.

Form: FU-

Beret Rouge

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

7/4

First foal; well bred for National Hunt racing being related to many winners including Morley Street and Granville Again; looks one of the more likely winners.

Form:

Conor's Joy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey

2/1

7th foal; sister to useful bumper/hurdle winner Sempo; certainly bred to do well in this sphere and stable among the winners already; worth closer inspection.

Form:

Courtinaction²⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss E J Sweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: P Croke

80/1

Has some fair breeding a long way back in the family line; pulled up on only point-to-point outing last October; others make more appeal.

Form: P-

Imperial Allure^t¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

5/1

Half-sister to smart hurdler Off You Go. Cost €40,000 and represents top yard that does well in this sphere; improved on wretched debut last August when not disgraced at Thurles in February; can progress.

Form: 64-

Kilbeggan Glory⁴⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss L A Hourigan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hourigan

40/1

Didn't create a strong impression in March 2019 on point-to-point debut at Ballycahane (pulled up having never travelled); fell on hurdles debut at Cork later that month; hard to recommend.

Form: PF/

Poulnashantinna

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss C Daffy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard

66/1

Flat-bred related to a few winners up to a mile; hard to know what to make of her on debut.

Form:

Sadies Trix¹⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

25/1

Cost just €4,500 but there are winners in her pedigree; tailed off on debut in Leopardstown bumper at the end of last year.

Form: 0-

Shannon Gray

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms H Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: G Scott

40/1

First foal; dam unplaced 2m4f hurdle. half-sister to hurdle winner Beakstown and useful bumper winner Minutestomidnight; likely type on breeding but a market advised.

Form:

Swiss Brid⁴¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss J Walton⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

80/1

Completed just one of her four point-to-point starts in 2019; difficult to see her being able to get competitive in this on that evidence.

Form: PP/B7-

The Girl That Sang^t¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss E McCutcheon⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady

40/1

Has just put in the one reasonable run six career starts doing so at Tramore in August; generally disappointing and difficult to make a strong case for returning to bumpers after two poor runs over hurdles.

Form: 90/6308-

Toor Moment³⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Flynn

16/1

Unplaced in maiden on point debut last May but showed she had potential later the same month when runner-up in Tipperary bumper; more to come.

Form: 72-

Your Place

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

18/1

Fourth foal; half-sister to hurdle/ chase winner Looksnowtlikebrian and hurdle winner Rivabodiva; hard to assess on debut and clues may be found in the betting ring.

Forecasts

Beret Rouge (7/4), Conor's Joy (2/1), Imperial Allure (5/1), Bavarian Girl (14/1), Toor Moment (16/1), Your Place (18/1), Sadies Trix (25/1), The Girl That Sang (40/1), Shannon Gray (40/1), Kilbeggan Glory (40/1), Poulnashantinna (66/1), Courtinaction (80/1), Swiss Brid (80/1), Bally Upper (150/1)

BERET ROUGE is a very well bred newcomer hailing from the family of the top class Morley Street: She will not have to be anything too special to land this weak-looking contest for top trainer Willie Mullins. Imperial Allure has progressed slowly and would not need to improve too much again to go close with her latest run at Thurles setting a decent standard. Toor Moment ran surprisingly well on her bumper debut at Tipperary in May 2019 and if fit first time up, she has a fair chance of success.
