6/4 |
Royal Hollow
Generally progressive over hurdles but put in her place in Listed races the last twice won by Cottesloe Sunshine, latterly at Punchestown when also behind Mozzies Sister; looks vulnerable having to concede weight all round.

Adela Icon
Punchestown maiden winner on heavy but ran well on good to yielding at Naas as the winner of that race could turn out decidedly smart and the second has won since; could be better than a mark of 119 may imply.

Hasten Slowly
Won a Punchcestown handicap last season off 113 which is no great advertisement for her prospects here; was a bit below her best last time at Perth.

Mozzies Sister
Ran pretty well in Graded races won by the likes of The Yellow Clay, The Big Westerner and Final Demand; further solid efforts the last twice, latterly second in a Listed race at Punchestown (2m, yielding; first-time visor) when ahead of Cheltenham runner-up Sixandahalf; big shout provided this doesn't come too soon.

Redwood Queen
Last five Flat runs nothing to shout about but she made it 6-19 as a hurdler when easily winning over 2m4f on good ground here last July; solid chance at the weights if back in that sort of form.

7/2 |
Royal Eagle
Four-time hurdle winner and her second to Jetara at Limerick in October reads really well; that was over 2m7f but she's fine at this trip and latest defeat came in a Grade 2; absent since November but has very strong form claims.

Speculatrix
Made a rocky start over hurdles (fell twice) but a Wexford maiden win buoyed her confidence and she was then fourth in a useful Listed race at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) where she raced keenly and didn't get home; respected.

10/1 |
Stormalong
Stayed on past weary rivals to take third in a 2m Grade 3 at Naas (soft); a likeable mare but balance of form hints at limitations on these terms; cheekpieces added.
