Speculatrix
Won a Punchestown bumper on debut two years ago; off for 13 months before a fair sixth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last April; has developed a concerning profile over hurdles, poor form on her two completed starts and has fallen twice when set to be involved in the finish; clear chance if none the worse for recent Navan mishap.

Magic Day
Runner-up in a point; shaped well before fading late into fourth in a competitive mares' maiden on her hurdles debut at Navan in November; did not help her chance by repeatedly jumping left when third (beaten favourite) at Thurles; left to finish a moderate third after Speculatrix fell at the last at Navan.

Billie Frechette
Modest Flat rating (56) but showed a fair standard of form when placed in two 1m4f handicaps at Dundalk in December; pick of two juvenile hurdle runs when good fourth in Navan contest which worked out well; worth considering.
