I Am Shadow³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr H C Swan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

5/1

Remains a maiden after 8 bumper runs. Creditable third of 13 in bumper (11/1) at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Respected for all that she's vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Mount Sinai

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

4/9

Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to useful 19f bumper winner/hurdler Seabank Bistro, stays 3m. Has found a good opportunity on debut and should take all the beating.

Form:

Next Question

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: S O'Callaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh

22/1

Dylan Thomas mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Hardwired, stays 25f. Likely to need more time and distance.

Form:

Phildante

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr M J McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath

28/1

Getaway mare. Dam modest 2¾m hurdle winner. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

Sleep Sound²⁷

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

15/2

Once-raced maiden. Third of 16 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Not discounted.

Form: 3

River Robe³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr J C Barry⁽³⁾| T: M Flannery

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 11 in bumper at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 31 days ago. Not completely ruled out for all that she'll need to improve.

Form: 543

Sheemore⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr F Maguire| T: C Collins

40/1

Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) on NH debut 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Martin. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Mount Sinai (4/9), I Am Shadow (5/1), Sleep Sound (15/2), Adela Icon (14/1), River Robe (16/1), Next Question (22/1), Leahs Tricks (25/1), Phildante (28/1), Sheemore (40/1), French Milan (50/1), Lady Goliath (150/1)

MOUNT SINAI is with a top yard and related to a bumper winner, so she's worth chancing to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set all that high by those with experience. Adela Icon and I Am Shadow might well fight it out if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.
