Listen Dear (1/1), Westerner Lady (11/4), Water Sprite (8/1), Flaviana (8/1), Annamatopoeia (11/1), Who's That (16/1), Blazing West (25/1)

LISTEN DEAR can register her eighth success in 14 career starts by taking this mares chase. The selection and stable Westerner Lady dominate the market here and their form looks a fair bit better than the best their rivals have to offer. The latter was an improved hurdler a couple of seasons back and has done well over fences winning five of her seven starts so far. Of the remainder Water Sprite was a winner on the Flat and over hurdles last season and broke her chasing duck at Wexford last month.
