FormscanBy Gary Carson - ASTELIA (3) sets the standard here and may be able to make the breakthrough in an ordinary enough contest. The Peter Fahey-trained mare was well-beaten on the Flat at Listowel last time but has been runner-up eight times over timber from 10 attempts, including on her penultimate outing at Kilbeggan. This looks like a nice opportunity to gain an overdue win. Masterstown Miss, second on her debut, hasn’t really progressed but it was a solid enough effort when fourth at Ballinrobe last time and she could be a danger. The Willie Mullins-trained Katie Can’t Count doesn’t look any star but wasn’t beaten far when sixth at Downpatrick and is open to improvement.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligibleWeights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs.
