Ciao Adios^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Eoin G Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 109

9/2

Winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in March. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. In good heart at present and not discounted.

Form: 64818-5

Majestic Jameela¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jake Coen⁽³⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 105| D

11/1

3-time hurdle winner lost her way for Stuart Edmunds, latest last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 117 days ago. Will likely need to improve on stable debut.

It'sallabouteve^p²⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr C J Shine⁽⁷⁾| T: Brendan Walsh| OR: 104| D

9/2

Showed a willing attitude to win a chase at Tipperary in July. Left behind a disappointing effort when back to form second of 11 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft), beaten by a stable switcher. Has won well fresh and is one to consider on reappearance.

Form: 0/62102-

Lady Bee Great^h¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 102

12/1

Best effort to date when hooded for first time, good second of 16 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 19 days ago. Could be open to improvement on handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 660-2

Katherine^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Ewing| T: A Sexton| OR: 101| D

9/2

Ran one of her better hurdle races with cheekpieces refitted (retained) when 25/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good). Has won off higher marks than this and is respected if in similar form 6 days on.

Form: B7950-5

Letters To Juliet^h,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: P Downey| OR: 96| BF

9/2

Winner in hurdle at Bellewstown in April. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 7/2) 24 days ago but will need to improve from current mark.

Form: 6UFP1-5

Ballinearla Girl³³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Cian Quirke| T: E Doyle| OR: 92

20/1

Stepped up markedly from hurdling debut when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy) in May last year. Below form on quick ground at Bellewstown on final run last season. Drops back to 2m for handicap debut but looks on a fair mark.

Form: 44/020-

Diamond Approach⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: Mary Ellen Doyle| OR: 89

20/1

Struggled on handicap debut when 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (17f, good) 46 days ago. Faces another uphill task.

Form: 94F009-

Patty O'Farrell^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: Peter Maher| OR: 89

10/1

Unable to build on promise of handicap debut when below form fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Lightly raced and could be worth another chance.

Form: P0902-5

Western Opera^h,t⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: A P Kelly⁽⁵⁾| T: G O'Loughlin| OR: 89

25/1

Ran too badly to be true on handicap bow when pulled up at Clonmel (18.7f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Something to prove now.

Form: 094P-

Spanish Maid^p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: F J Flood| OR: 87

33/1

Would have a chance on maiden form from last year but has been disappointing this season, faring no better back over hurdles when thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Could be a lively outsider if first time cheekpieces have desired effect.

Form: 5086P-0

Finnicky Filly^t1⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 83

17/2

Some promise in maidens and left poorly placed when thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Tipperary (16.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. May be capable of better in first-time tongue tie.

Forecasts

Lilian Bland (5/2), Katherine (9/2), Ciao Adios (9/2), Letters To Juliet (9/2), It'sallabouteve (9/2), Finnicky Filly (17/2), Patty O'Farrell (10/1), Majestic Jameela (11/1), Lady Bee Great (12/1), Classy Cc (14/1), Diamond Approach (20/1), Ballinearla Girl (20/1), Western Opera (25/1), Spanish Maid (33/1), Sidiriya (33/1)

A competitive fare, IT'SALLABOUTEVE gets the vote having finishing runner-up over C&D on her last hurdles outing in September having already proven herself capable of winning first time up. Ballinearla Girl looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut, while Classy CC could be capable of much better now handicapping.
