1.25 ROSE MILAN (IRE); 5.00 SHUIL LUAS (IRE); THE THREE WIZARDS; 8.00 LAWLOR'S CHOICE; SPRINGFIELD LODGE (IRE); 10.00 NEW MONEY; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
SHUIL LASS is a three-time point-to-point winner who can win on hunter chase debut. She has shown a consistently useful level of ability in 16 career point-to-points and comes here very much a proven type having run well to finish fifth a good Open (Montys Meadow won, Josies Order was third) at Rathcannon recently and drops down in grade for this. Sliabh Mhuire Lass is the winner of six point-to-points but has yet to win in nine racecourse starts, including three hunter chases. She failed to win from ratings in the 90s in five handicap chases and while those runs were over shorter trips, she might struggle to beat the selection. Rose Milan steps out of maiden point-to-point company but could well be progressive enough to get involved. She dead-heated with a horse who later sold for 42,000Gbp at Belharbour in February and should go well on reappearance.
