3/1
3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago, not knocked about. That was his first start for 2 years and he may well come on for that now.

Below form thirteenth of 26 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (2m) in December, weakening early in the straight. Needs to bounce back returned to the Flat.

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (1m) 19 days ago, keeping on to be nearest at the finish. Appeals as being on a handy mark but she needs to prove her stamina for the trip.

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap here (10.7f) 14 days ago, keeping on without being seen to best effect. Remins low-mileage and not discounted.

12/1
Successful over 10.7f here in November. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap back here in December, the 7 lb rise arguably catching her out. Tackles this longer trip now.

22/1
C&D winner who ran well to finish third here in November 2020, forced to switch over 1f out and keeping on. Absent subsequently though, so market likely the best guide now.

13/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, going on 3f out and no extra only inside final 50 yds. No surprise to see her in the mix again in present groove.

Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 14 days ago, making no impression. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Remains a maiden after 47 Flat runs. 66/1, good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, never nearer. May well find a couple too good once more.

One win from 29 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this course (16f) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Thirty runs since last win in 2019. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 50/1) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly back up in trip.

15/2, not disgraced when sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 14 days ago. Mark has eased subsequently and she's worth another chance at this longer trip on balance.

Forecasts

Rips Dream (3/1), French Company (10/3), Nudge The Judge (11/2), Ertikaaz (6/1), Lily Of The Glen (15/2), Scarlet Seymour (12/1), Tenth Amendment (22/1), Paddytheirishman (22/1), Aldente (22/1), Stardayz (22/1), Hidden Land (25/1), Nusra (28/1), Super Proud (28/1), Secret Wizard (33/1)

Verdict

Claims can be made for plenty and with that in mind a chance is taken on LILY OF THE GLEN. She hasn't been disgraced in recent starts, and with the step back up in trip worth exploring on balance, she may well be up to exploiting her basement mark. Nudge The Judge, low-mileage Ertikaaz and French Company are a trio of others to consider.

  1. LILY OF THE GLEN (IRE)
  2. NUDGE THE JUDGE (IRE)
  3. ERTIKAAZ (IRE)
