Amboyna⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D J O'Keeffe| T: John E & Kiely

11/2

Fairly useful bumper winner and in process of showing similar form when unseating last on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (20.2f) in November. Likely first start for 7 months was needed when sixth in Punchestown bumper 6 weeks ago and she remains with untapped potential as a hurdler. Player.

Form: 3312U-6

Neon Diamond^p1¹³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J W Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 106

11/4

Fair hurdler. Pulled up in novice hurdle (10/3) at Gowran (16.1f, heavy) 132 days ago, tailing off 4 out. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 10/473P-

Annie Hope Harriet⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: R J Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: Dermot P O'Brien

200/1

Shown little ability in three bumper starts and very low-key start in this sphere when tenth of 17 in mares' maiden at Punchestown (21.6f) last month.

Form: 00-90

Cappaho⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: G Brouder⁽³⁾| T: E Seymour

100/1

Lightly-raced 5-y-o mare who never figured only start in points and similar story on bumper debut at Wexford (20f) in May. 80/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.6f, good) on hurdles bow 40 days ago. Passed over.

Form: 9P-9P

C'mere Girleen⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: E Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ott

200/1

Rosier mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler/chaser Pana To Milan. Always behind when thirteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 125/1) on NH debut 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0

Jetaway Nana¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D J Gilligan| T: C Collins

7/2

Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Sean Thomas Doyle when third of 16 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. No forlorn hope with this further increase in trip promising to be within range.

Form: 63

Kilmore Coral⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: R Deegan| T: S Curling

40/1

Stoutly-bred mare who has tasted success between the Flags. Likely she found test inadequate starting out under Rules when ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago and this should reveal more upped markedly in trip.

Form: P1-229

Lily Milan³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: C M Quirke| T: P Kiely

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, fourth of 15 in bumper at Sligo (18.4f, good) 38 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip and interesting if the market spoke in her favour.

Form: 210-44

Paudie's Wings⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S W Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 97

13/2

Modest hurdler. 14/1, slipped up in novice hurdle at this course (22.4f, good to soft) 67 days ago, weakening when clipping heels between 4 and 3 out. Looks best watched in any case.

Form: 5/63P0-S

Queen's Meadow¹⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J P O'Sullivan| T: D Queally

50/1

Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 20/1) on hurdles bow 171 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 77-

Regards To Rose^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: G B Noonan⁽⁵⁾| T: E McCarthy| OR: 100

11/4

Has shown improved form recently. Finished second of 15 in a maiden hurdle at Limerick (19.2f) in May. Possibly overdid things in front when fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.6f, good) 40 days ago and no surprise to see her thereabouts.

Form: R08-324

Russellsbelle^p1⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: P T Enright| T: Con McSweeney| OR: 102

22/1

Forecasts

Neon Diamond (11/4), Regards To Rose (11/4), Jetaway Nana (7/2), Amboyna (11/2), Paudie's Wings (13/2), Lily Milan (9/1), Russellsbelle (22/1), Jampot Lane (33/1), Kilmore Coral (40/1), Queen's Meadow (50/1), Dorans Mill (100/1), Cappaho (100/1), C'mere Girleen (200/1), Annie Hope Harriet (200/1)

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, AMBOYNA was in the process of matching that form prior to unseating late on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in November. Entitled to be sharper with a recent start in bumpers under her belt, she could well be the way to go with improvement anticipated. Regards to Rose and Jetaway Nana are others worth a look. Lily Milan is one to monitor in the betting now hurdling over a longer trip.
