Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 151| BF| C

4/9

Landed first 4 starts upon joining Willie Mullins, readily landing pair of Grade 2 chase contests this season. Ran right up to best when runner-up to Impervious in Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last month and this looks a good opening for her.

Form: 311-112

Broomfield Hall^t¹⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Dempsey| T: J P Dempsey| OR: 132| C

25/1

Useful chaser. Course winner. 3 wins from 4 runs this season. Pulled up in Gr 2 chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 7/2) 101 days ago won by Allegorie De Vassy, pulled up before 2 out. On a roll prior to that and bounce back not ruled out returning from a break.

Form: P11-11P

Instit^h⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: D E Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 131| C

15/2

Course winner. Winner in chase here (21f) in February. Hooded for 1st time, 8¼ lengths third of 5 to Brides Hill in listed chase at Thurles (21.9f, good to soft, 13/8) 44 days ago.

Form: 2-44213

Limerick Lace²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mark Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 142

11/4

Quickly developed into a useful chaser, landing novice/handicap events at up to 20f prior to good second in Naas Grade 3 last month, albeit flashing tail under pressure. No doubting she has the ability to play a part.

Form: 9-52112

Motown Maggie^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR: 127| C

50/1

Fairly useful chaser. 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. More on her plate back up in grade.

Form: 513441

Sit Down Lucy⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Peter Fahey

40/1

Useful chaser. 40/1, below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, heavy) 98 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 311409

Time To Rocco^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: C Motherway| C

40/1

Fair hurdler who made it first time lucky over fences under a confident ride to land a Thurles mares' maiden chase (18f) 3 weeks ago, third jumping last and staying on to lead final 50 yds. Better to come in this sphere but this is a tough ask.

Form: F03381

Forecasts

Allegorie De Vassy (4/9), Limerick Lace (11/4), Instit (15/2), Broomfield Hall (25/1), Sit Down Lucy (40/1), Time To Rocco (40/1), Motown Maggie (50/1)

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY ran right up to her best when runner-up to Impervious in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last month, and with potential for better still over fences, she can capitalise on the return to calmer waters here. Limerick Lace has made a bright start herself over fences and rates a big threat, ahead of the returning Broomfield Hall.
