Maiden has been poor in two runs on softer ground recently and is not easy to fancy on that form. |

Returned with a couple of good runs, notably staying today's trip well when only beaten a neck at Sligo; didn't get home in more testing conditions at Cork nine days ago (cheekpieces tried but now discarded) but remains of interest back on better ground. |

Ten-race maiden; has slipped in the ratings from an opening mark of 67 to 55; made no impact on seasonal debut in a Limerick race in which Jurality was fifth. |

Maiden shaped okay at times last season without really threatening to win; her best run came over this trip at Cork when a 2.75l fourth and she's 4lb lower now; lacks a run but can't dismiss. |

Belatedly came good last year with a string of placed efforts and a win over 9.5f here (beating Skib Gold); not as effective over longer trips after and has been off since falling over hurdles in October. |

Won a low-grade Flat handicap at Gowran in August and fourth at Down Royal last time; the last of her five modest hurdle runs was nearly three years ago; still, can't be ruled out. |

Second reserve; placed in good-ground 1m2f handicaps at Fairyhouse and Naas last summer for Paul Nolan; form so far for current yard modest, albeit mainly on unsuitably soft ground; reduced mark looks tempting. |

Interesting on his AW form for Charlie Johnston; poor run on Irish debut at Roscommon; stable's good current form is a positive. |

Has done a lot of racing since C&D win off 47 just over a year ago, one of only two wins in 48-race career; solid third in C&D handicap earlier this month; raced keenly from wide draw at Gowran on latest; contender at his best. |

Betting Forcast
18/1 Medieval Night, 33/1 Captain Ciano, 9/2 Shes Ideal, 28/1 Tara Na Ri, 14/1 Amavasya, 40/1 Lust, 22/1 Thegooseiscooked, 15/8 Sweet Baby Zou, 12/1 Cuckaloo Hill, 20/1 Barretstown, 4/1 Ellas Gold, 22/1 Onyeisi, 33/1 Kilgharrahs Love, 15/2 Master Garvey, 25/1 Hiltons Pass, 40/1 Coul Dore
Verdict
If Sweet Baby Zou takes her chance, she’s the one to beat. If she is taken out, it could pay to side with the consistent SHE’S IDEAL who was hampered early when third over C&D eight days ago. Thegooseiscooked could step forward from his seasonal return and, if conditions ease, Ella’s Gold has a chance if ready after a break. Cuckaloo Hill, runner up in a division of this last year off 9lb higher, completes the shortlist. [Dave Stephens]
