Getone⁴⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J C Barry| T: V Halley

14/1

Well beaten in both career starts in bumpers, most recently when 16th of 20 at Punchestown (125/1) in June last year. Makes hurdle debut after lengthy absence and will need to improve.

Form: 00-

Kingston Fire¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J D Coffey⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power

40/1

Beaten a long way in both career hurdle starts, again showing nothing after 5 months off when 15th of 17 at Listowel (200/1) 12 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 00

Maxicourt¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Duffy

13/8

Well-held on sole hurdles start on debut. Hasn't looked entirely straightforward but did show some ability in bumpers, back on track to some extent when seventh of 18 in a bumper at Listowel (100/1) 14 days ago. Could be competitive in a particularly thin maiden hurdle.

Form: 06057

Gentle Annie^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: T O'Brien

11/4

Wasn't far behind a fair sort when fifth of 8 on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe over 22f in August. Didn't built on that when tenth of 18 in a deeper maiden at Listowel (150/1), down markedly in trip. Remains at 2m here but this is a much weaker race and she has claims if reproducing her debut form.

Form: 50

Katdezire^b1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Curling

9/1

Supported on debut (considerately handled once held) and showed a bit more when seventh in a 17-runner bumper at Galway last month. Always behind on hurdling bow at Listowel 2 weeks ago but could make more of an impact in first-time blinkers (replacing hood), especially if market vibes are positive.

Form: 770

Keep It Together¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: B P Kennedy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Buckley

125/1

Showed little to date. Ridden more positively on second start over hurdles but seemed set to drop away when falling at Navan (19f, 300/1) 19 days ago. Remains to be seen if she can last longer back over 2m.

Form: P00-P0F

Cousin Kate¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Daniel King| T: D Hogan

13/2

Needed the experience on debut at Galway and never landed a blow when ninth of 18 at Listowel (125/1) 14 days ago (Gentle Annie back in tenth). Would typically be one for handicaps but this is a very winnable race and the market should prove informative.

Form: 09

Miss Donna^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Kiely

4/1

Showed a bit on hurdles debut when fifth of 13 at Wexford (16.9f) prior to finishing tenth of 16 in a bumper at Navan (50/1) 19 days ago, held up and merely plugged on. Not discounted if she can build on the minor promise shown on sole hurdle start.

Form: 50

Forecasts

Maxicourt (13/8), Gentle Annie (11/4), Miss Donna (4/1), Cousin Kate (13/2), Katdezire (9/1), Getone (14/1), Kingston Fire (40/1), Keep It Together (125/1)

Many of these would typically be aimed at handicaps but this is a notably weak maiden and the market should offer plenty of clues. GENTLE ANNIE disappointed at Listowel but could be the one if recapturing the form shown on hurdles debut, while Maxicourt isn't entirely straightforward but has offered something to work with in bumpers. Cousin Kate and Katdezire (first-time blinkers) also finished well held at Listowel but it's worth noting if either featuring prominently in the betting.
