18/1

Fair hurdler. Easily landed the odds in 9-runner novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. This demands a lot more though.

Eve's Hope^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Donovan| T: M O Quigley| OR: 104| D

66/1

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 20/1, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 18 days ago, travelling strongly. Needs another step forward in this grade however.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 118| CD

11/2

Form: 242440

Love At Sea¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: Edward F Power

16/1

Modest hurdler. Creditable third of 11 in bumper (12/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 113 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving P. M. Hurley. Difficult ask.

Forecasts

Royal Hollow (5/2), Cottesloe Sunshine (3/1), Sansrisk (5/1), Femme Magnifique (11/2), Amanha (15/2), Dream On Baby (10/1), Love At Sea (16/1), Beauforts Storm (18/1), Folly Beach (40/1), Eve's Hope (66/1), Chautuaqua (100/1)

COTTESLOE SUNSHINE holds the edge on the form of her good Punchestown third last time so looks the way to go. Femme Magnifique didn't enjoy the rub of the green when pulled up in that contest and could emerge as the main danger with Dream On Baby, Amanha and Royal Hollow all worthy of consideration too.
