13:55 Theatre Native
The better ground could see significant improvement from Goodie Two Shoes on the jumping front, while Miss Manzor is another who needs to improve her jumping to play a leading role here. Preference is for THEATRE NATIVE, who has two solid runs over fences, although this is probably the quickest ground she has raced on. Law Of Her Own is another with recent jumping issues but has claims on her best form.
14:30 Fun Fun Fun
Providing she jumps better than at Exeter, FUN FUN FUN may be able to exploit the weight allowance here over stablemate High Class Hero in a interesting contest which appears a match. Prairie Dancer looks next best.
15:05 Crowsatedappletart
Much improved over hurdles recently, CROWSATEDAPPLETART holds plenty of interest back chasing here off a 14lb lower mark on ground he handles. Recent winners Lilian Bland and Spinning Web head the list of dangers, with Clonbury Bridge another to consider.
15:40 Following Orders (NAP)
Not many of these have shown maiden-winning potential, and FOLLOWING ORDERS (NAP) probably does not have to improve much from his Leopardstown run to go one place better. He could be tested by Slieve Annilog, a point winner who has been running in better maidens than this. Free Flow and Brave Soldier can compete for a share of the money.
16:15 Hewick
Last season’s King George winner HEWICK was second in a Grade 1 hurdle last May and has a slight edge here over Asterion Forlonge based on a clash at Leopardstown in December, admittedly when neither horse was seen to best effect. The Mullins horse also had a Grade 1 second to his credit last spring, behind Teahupoo at Punchestown.
16:50 Pebble Bleu
Better ground should suit PEBBLE BLEU who is potentially well handicapped relative to her chase form and has been highly tried. If forgiven a disappointing run last time Mighty Soldier has a strong chance. Cafe Del Mar is a previous winner of this race and could go well at a decent price.
17:25 Eagle Of Destiny
Paddy Twomey had EAGLE OF DESTINY ready to run in a ten-furlong Flat maiden last spring. The half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Sonnyboyliston may prove equal to this different task. Galileo Sand, a half-brother to 1m Group 1 winner Amazing Maria, should make his presence felt if staying effectively. Old Bridge is another newcomer who could feature. Shabra Diya has an edge in experience that should help.
