Selected odds by:

Mystery Stowaway¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 108

9/4

Listowel bumper winner in September; improved hurdles form in novice contest at Limerick (2m6f, good; 10-1) 15 days ago when clear second-best. Has to be given sound claims with repeat showing.

Form: 74309-2

Aidacon¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J M Moore| T: A Donoghue

80/1

Finished sixth of 15 on hurdles bow at Tipperary (3m, good to yielding; 66-1) recently; rarely look a threat to principles. Can improve for the experience, however.

Form: 6

Escort'namix⁴²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J S McGarvey| T: G Elliott| OR: 99

16/1

Point-to-point winner here in 2018 but somewhat underwhelming in six-race bumper/hurdles stint in Britain with Warren Greatrex since. Returns from 425 days off now with Gordon Elliott and the mare needs a close monitor.

Form: 46FU3/9-

Etincelle Lioterie^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

16/5

Decent form in bumpers and made sound start over timber at Limerick (2m6f, good; 11-2) 15 days ago when finishing fourth (has plenty ground to make up with runner-up Mystery Stowaway).

Form: 2524/4-4

Fireball Breeze¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: Michael C Griffin

150/1

Milan mare; some promise in point-to-points but was a fair way behind some of these at Limerick (2m6f, good; 80-1) 15 days ago on rules bow and likely facing tough task again now.

Form: 5/55-9

Infinite Glory²²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: P Fenton

9/1

Fame And Glory mare, in the frame in autumn bumpers at Listowel and Tramore before a couple of dismal efforts in October/November. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove on seasonal return.

Form: S/3260-

Lilly Mon May¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: S D Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee

50/1

Just two starts under rules and they came two years apart; runner-up in a point-to-point at Nenagh in February but well held 20-1 chance in Tipperary maiden (3m, good to yielding) on rules return recently; others preferred.

Form: 744/52-9

Miss Victrix^h1,t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: R J McGrath

50/1

€10,000 three-year-old; half-sister to 2m2f/2m4f hurdle winner Alletrix; dam unraced sister to 2m/2m1f hurdle winner Ocras Mor, half-sister to 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/very smart chase winner Aces Four and 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Hell Cat Maggie.

Form:

Swiss Brid¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: G Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

250/1

Completed just one of her four point-to-point starts in 2019 and tailed off in a bumper at Roscommon (2m, good to yielding; 80-1) on recent rules bow for this yard. Hard to fancy.

Form: PP/B7-0

Tinas Glory^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: R A Doyle⁽³⁾| T: A Donoghue

150/1

Daughter of Fame And Glory out of a Prince Of Birds mare; never able to get in contention on debut at Tipperary (3m, good to yielding; 22-1) 11 days ago and likely best watched for now.

Form: 0

Tune The Chello¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: R M Power| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 104

5/4

Twice ran well in maiden hurdles at Tramore either side of Christmas before slightly disappointing third (beaten 16½L) at Limerick (2m5f, soft to heavy; 3-1) in January. Off since and big player if regaining momentum on better ground.

Form: 2/423-

Aodhan May¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes

40/1

Few positives in four bumper starts earlier in the year and tailed off in Limerick maiden hurdle (2m6f, good; 22-1) last month on first attempt in this sphere; lots to work on.

Form: 0765-0

Springcool Lady

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: K J Brouder| T: D E Fitzgerald

80/1

First-starter is a half-sister to 2m-3m1f hurdle/smart chase winner Spring Heeled and 2m5f hurdle winner Derrylea Girl; dam bumper/2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to high-class 2m chaser Central House, out of 2m2f-2m6f hurdle winner.

Form:

Upourdat

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville

150/1

Dam unraced half-sister to winners Down The Dale (2m-2m2f hurdle) & Perfect Woman (2m1f-2m4f hurdle/chase) out of unraced sister to high-class 2m6f-3m hurdle winner Merry Masquerade; makes limited appeal on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

Tune The Chello (5/4), Mystery Stowaway (9/4), Etincelle Lioterie (16/5), Celine Soprano (15/2), Infinite Glory (9/1), Escort'namix (16/1), So Enjoy (20/1), Trouble And Strife (25/1), Aodhan May (40/1), Lilly Mon May (50/1), Miss Victrix (50/1), Springcool Lady (80/1), Aidacon (80/1), Upourdat (150/1), Fireball Breeze (150/1), Tinas Glory (150/1), Swiss Brid (250/1)

Mystery Stowaway comes here off a pleasing second at Limerick and should be right in the mix again with fitness assured but she must concede plenty weight to TUNE THE CHELLO and that may prove tough. Henry De Bromhead's mare twice ran well at Listowel before a slightly disappointing third at Limerick in January. She meets better ground here and will likely have more to offer. Escort'namix is worth monitoring on first start for Gordon Elliott while Etincelle Lioterie may have place claims if building on recent hurdles bow at Limerick (behind Mystery Stowaway).
