A modest affair. Nashville Notions ran well on soft last time but she'll encounter quicker ground here. The trip is a worry for Danielle D so the safest option looks to be BARONESS ORCZY who should do better now returned to a sounder surface. The locally trained Auntie Lacey and the well-bred hurdling debutante Voodoo Angel are worth a market check. [Dave Stevos]

Locally trained point-to-point winner has been beaten similar distances in a maiden hurdle and bumper at Leopardstown, both at 2m on yielding; this trip and ground should suit better so she's worth a market check in this weak race.
Rated 100; showed promise when staying on for a 12l fifth of 13 in a mares' maiden at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good); soft ground may not have suited latest; go well back on this sounder surface.
Rated 100; best effort on penultimate when a 9.75l fifth of 20 in a Naas maiden hurdle (2m, gd-yld); weakened late over 2m3f (good) at Cork last week; stamina a query upped another furlong in trip.
Didn't show much in six starts for Tom Gibney, the last three runs coming in handicap company; rated 91 and is best watched after a break on first start for new yard.
Point-to-point winner in March at Lingstown on yielding; not disgraced when weakening late under positive ride on Rules' debut in a bumper at Fairyhouse last month (2m4f, yld-sft); pedigree suggests good ground could suit; not discounted.
Placed in a point-to-point on good ground in April 2022; rated 102 after three maiden hurdle runs, the best of which came on her last start at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in March 2024; entitled to need this run after a 426 day absence and is probably best watched.
Earned a rating of 100 after three runs over timber at 18.5f-20.5f; beaten 26l on penultimate here over 20.5f on yielding; better effort latest when a 12l fifth of 16 at Cork (2m3f, soft); quicker ground here is a concern.
Three previous runs do not suggest she is up to winning a maiden hurdle; beaten 30l at 200-1 on latest at Cork (2m3f, good); probably one for handicaps.
Beaten over 80l in completed starts in a Tipperary bumper and a Navan maiden hurdle; pulled up when 200-1 at Downpatrick eight days ago; hard to fancy.
Best effort in three starts in bumpers at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) on penultimate when beaten 4.25l into sixth of 14; failed to back that up over 2m4f (yld-sft) at Fairyhouse last month; related to two hurdles winners including the smart Emitom; could go well on first start over timber.
Top yard but has raced too keenly and finished well beaten in both starts, including on hurdles debut at Killarney six days ago after a long layoff; tongue tie now tried; probably capable of better but hard to fancy on what she has shown so far.
