One of two for top yard; sets the standard on form with a rating of 114; won a bumper on soft here and shaped like this trip might suit at Sligo last time but Paul Townend prefers her stablemate; still ranks as a leading contender.
Rated 104; best effort came on debut when narrowly denied at Limerick (2m4f, heavy) at 150-1; hasn't repeated that in two runs since and didn't jump fluently when last seen at Down Royal in April; can't be fully discounted in this company.
Four-time winner in point-to-points on soft and heavy ground; held every chance when falling on her latest start in that sphere in May; worth a market check on Rules' debut.
Point-to-point winner on heavy at Tattersalls in April for Maike Magnussen; bought by current connections for 50,000 at Goffs UK Aintree sale in April; with top local yard and has to be considered on Rules' debut.
Second runner for top yard; 25,000euros yearling; half-sister to winners Petit Tartare (2m hurdle), Cartonne (2m3f/2m4f chase), Kennack Bay (2m7f chase), Prince Tartare (French 2m1f/2m2f chase) and Divin Tartare (French 2m1f chase); dam French 1m7f hurdle winner; daughter of Saint Des Saints is the choice of Townend and she is hooded for her debut; interesting.
Promise on debut for this yard after an absence when a staying on fifth of 10 at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) last month; different conditions to contend with here and she struggled on easy ground at Wexford back in May; probably best watched.
Point-to-point winner on soft; promise when a 17l third of 9 on her hurdles debut at Leopardstown in March (2m4f, soft to heavy); that's decent form in the context of this race and while she lacks a run, she is worth a market check.
Big odds and no impact in two maiden hurdles for Peter Fahey; tailed off when pulled up on latest at Listowel; best watched on first start for new yard.
Showed promise in a couple of bumpers last year, including a 5l third on debut on heavy ground at Limerick; off since 46l defeat in another bumper at Limerick (2m3f, heavy); best watched on hurdles debut after a 229-day absence.
Rated 102 after placing in three of five runs in maiden hurdles; best efforts in this sphere on good to yielding but has placed in bumpers on heavy ground; experience is a plus and she has each-way claims for her in-form stable.
Point-to-point winner on yielding at Dromahane in April for Mick Winters; has suffered heavy defeats in all three of her maiden hurdle starts for this yard; hard to fancy.
18,000 euros 3yo; third foal; half-sister to bumper/2m3f hurdle winner Geezer Rockstar; dam 2m6f hurdle winner, sister to useful bumper and 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Themoonandsixpence and bumper/2m hurdle winner Miss Accurate; Soldier Of Fortune filly is nicely bred but probably best watched on debut.
Signs of ability in both maiden hurdle starts; fourth on soft at Listowel (2m) and then a remote second on good to yielding at Clonmel (19.5f); the step up to this trip should suit and she is very well-related; could go well for her local yard.
Point-to-point winner on good at Ballingarry; not beaten far in two bumpers; the step up in trip should suit on hurdles debut but she is untried on softer than yielding; chance if handling the ground on hurdles debut.
