Analysis and Assessment:

  1. Finest Evermore (IRE):
    Finest Evermore had a career-best win in a handicap hurdle at Killarney and returns from a break. This race looks like a good opportunity for her to perform well.
  2. Media Naranja (IRE):
    Media Naranja is a lightly-raced winner over hurdles and is coming off a recent victory in a juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe. With the yard in good form, she should be competitive in this race.
  3. Shesadream (IRE):
    Shesadream is a fairly useful hurdler with two wins from five runs last season. Although she finished last in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe, she may have been amiss. With the yard in good form, her return could see an improved performance.
  4. Lady Of The Vale (IRE):
    Lady Of The Vale had a career-best win in a novice hurdle at Tipperary. While she needs to keep the errors at bay, her recent form suggests she can play a leading role in this race.
  5. Cash The Cheque (IRE):
    Cash The Cheque is a fair hurdler who finished second in a novice hurdle at Limerick. While she is likely to have a minor role in this race, her recent form indicates she can’t be completely discounted.
  6. Sandymount Baby (IRE):
    Sandymount Baby is a modest bumper performer who showed improvement on her hurdles debut, finishing fifth at Tipperary. With the run under her belt, she may be a type for handicaps later on.
  7. Bayonetta (IRE):
    Bayonetta is a twice-raced maiden who finished third in a novice hurdle at Perth. With cheekpieces on for the first time, she could show improvement, but others may have stronger claims.
  8. Lockdown Daisy (IRE):
    Lockdown Daisy finished fifteenth in a novice hurdle at this course and is wearing cheekpieces for the first time. Based on her recent performance, she is unlikely to be a strong contender.
  9. Struell Duchess (IRE):
    Struell Duchess is a September Storm mare with limited experience. With unplaced starts in points and an unseated rider last time, she has a lot to prove in this race.

Special Mention:
Finest Evermore is the top-ranked horse based on the total ratings and has an exceptional chance to perform well in this race. Her career-best win and the absence of a strong challenge from the other contenders make her a standout contender.

Overall, Finest Evermore, Media Naranja, Shesadream, Lady Of The Vale, Cash The Cheque, Sandymount Baby, Bayonetta, Lockdown Daisy, and Struell Duchess are the top contenders based on the total ratings.
