Dunsy Rock (M)
Built on debut promise to land 15-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m) in February. Strong at the finish there so this Poet's Word mare is the one to beat stepping back up in trip.

Aristelle (M)
[P]
Fair form shown when third in a Carlisle bumper in December but she came in a well-held eighth on her hurdling debut at Carlisle (19f) 19 days ago.

Bracing Brook (M)
Offered little when pulled up in novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) on her debut in November. Lots more is required.

Frankies Fortune (M)
Soldier of Fortune mare won an Irish point but only modest form shown since in a pair of bumpers at Carlisle before Christmas. Hurdling debutante.

Oor Wish (M)
Has hinted at promise in 3 bumpers, a patiently-ridden sixth at Kelso last month. Goes over hurdles now.

Sagonige (M)
Bumper winner on her debut in 2023/24 but well held in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles at Ayr and Kelso this season after a near 2-year absence.

Viscountess Nelson (M)
FAV
Won sole start in points and she shaped well on her hurdling bow when second of 8 in novice at Plumpton (21f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Seems sure to progress for leading yard.

1/421- | James Bowen | N J Henderson | 6 | 69.9 kg |

Celtic Alliance (F)
Order of St George filly who made a winning start in 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Clonmel recently. Capable of building on it and a likely player. Stablemate of Dunsy Rock.

Quinnfinity (F)
€6,000 3-y-o, Jet Away filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Lone Wolf and bumper winner/fair hurdler Love At Sea. Dam dual winning pointer. The market can guide for this newcomer.
