Selected odds by:

Broomfield Bijou⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: K M Donoghue| T: J P Dempsey| D

11/8

Fairly useful hurdler. Respectable tenth of 25 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) 83 days ago. Not out of the question she could have more to offer now chasing and well worth noting if the market spoke in her favour.

Form: 11/2380-

Broomfield Gale^t1³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M Hamill| T: R Murphy

150/1

Modest form in 2 starts over hurdles. Fair form in bumpers, fifth of 8 in bumper (17/2) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 38 days ago. Tongue strap applied for chase debut but others more appealing.

Form: PF8-U35

Costanuci²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: B Hayes| T: J Queally

11/1

Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 10/1, unseated rider in novice chase at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago, unseating at the second. Likely she can still do better in this sphere moving forward.

Form: 112-45U

Implicit^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler who made it 2 non-completions from as many starts over fences when pulled up in novice chase at Tipperary (17.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago, beaten when pulled up before 2 out. Represents top yard but she has something to prove now. Hood back on.

Form: P11U-PP

Miss Agusta²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| D

17/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Two wins from 4 runs last season. 20/1, creditable fifth of 10 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Return to this shorter trip can help and claims of hitting the frame.

Form: 771P-35

Must Be Dreaming^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: G Ahern| OR: 95| C

16/1

Modest chaser. One win from 27 NH runs. 11/1 and visor on for 1st time in this code, good fourth of 16 in handicap chase at this course (19.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago, travelling strongly and losing third only close home. However, she's vulnerable back in this company.

Form: 5-44704

Rebel Treaty⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: P T Enright| T: Con McSweeney

40/1

Fair hurdler. 15/2, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Down in trip.

Form: 293-507

Still Ciel^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

11/4

Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time, promising start over fences when second of 10 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Definite claims with progress anticipated.

Form: 0504/0-2

Forecasts

Broomfield Bijou (11/8), Still Ciel (11/4), Implicit (4/1), Miss Agusta (17/2), Costanuci (11/1), Must Be Dreaming (16/1), Cathryns Ruby (25/1), Rebel Treaty (40/1), Broomfield Gale (150/1)

STILL CIEL boasted fairly useful form over hurdles and made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a mares' maiden at Tipperary 22 days ago. Open to improvement, she can go one place better. Chase debutante Broomfield Bijou and Miss Agusta back down in trip head up the dangers. Implicit can't be entirely dismissed in a refitted hood.
