FormscanBy Michael Graham - ANGELS DAWN looks the safest option in a race where there are plenty of potential improvers. Sam Curling's mare ran a stormer when a close second in a Grade 3 novice hurdle on testing ground at Navan in February. That contest was over 3m so this 2m5f shouldn't inconvenience her on seasonal reappearance. Willie Mullins' Mi Lighthouse, switches to hurdles after being placed in two of her five bumpers. Her stablemate, Memorable Daise, weakened out of contention in Cork but is highly likely to leave that run behind. Derrylinda was a very taking winner of a mares' point-to-point bumper at Tipperary in March. She caught a tartar when beaten into second on hurdling debut at Galway in October. There is more to come from her up in trip. Yenedon is an interesting recruit for Henry de Bromhead after a runner-up finish in a point-to-point. Her stablemate, Brampton Belle, was backed on debut at Tipperary but was keen before finishing fifth.
