Bonnie Kellie³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: S Curling| OR: 109

10/3

Off 5 months but running well when unseated rider 3 out (poised to challenge) in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 9/2) 31 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark.

Form: 3345F-U

Sunnyvilla¹⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: D Hassett| OR: 109| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in February. Good third of 11 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.6f, soft, 10/1), running on. Off 6 months so needs to hit the ground running.

Jenny Flex^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 102

11/4

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago. Had a bit in hand there and headgear is retained so she's a player on her handicap debut.

6/1

Starting to struggle when fell 2 out in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, heavy, 6/1) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Unreliable individual.

10/1

12/1

150/1, tenth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft). Off 8 months. Switches from hurdles to chase with plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Jenny Flex (11/4), Bonnie Kellie (10/3), Kilashee (6/1), Sunnyvilla (6/1), Slige Dala (17/2), Crowsatedappletart (10/1), Harly De Rots (12/1), Room To Roam (14/1), Rebel Early (18/1)

JENNY FLEX showed the benefit of headgear when going in cosily at Downpatrick last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark back in handicap company here with the cheekpieces again sported. Bonnie Kellie rates the chief threat if none the worse for her late Roscommon fall, with Room To Roam also firmly in the picture on the back of his recent Sligo victory.
