Alive Inside⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M C O'Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Sweeney

40/1

Beaten 33L when finishing seventh of 12 in last month's bumper bow at Punchestown, could offer an improved performance in this.

Form: 7-

Annie Mae's Vision

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N Bashford⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Byrne

50/1

Mare out of Oscar, she's related to 2m hurdle winners Dollar And A Dream and Rosangla. Small yard and no surprise should she come on for this run.

Form:

Ask The Diviner^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S J P Baragry⁽⁷⁾| T: D M O'Brien

33/1

Returned from a layoff at Tramore last month to be beaten 21L in second bumper run, sporting first-time tongue strap (retained here), needs to improve.

Form: 59-8

Bethpage Black³³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D Skehan⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly

20/1

Beaten just 7L in a Ballinrobe bumper in May but has been posted missing for 11 months since. Market check will reveal more ahead of this return to action.

Form: 5-

Brog Beanri

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J P O'Rourke⁽⁷⁾| T: M McCabe

33/1

Mare out of Flemensfirth, probably best watched on debut here for yard that doesn't tend to have many bumper runners and is just 1/41 in this sphere.

Form:

Don't Tell Mom¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

12/1

Some positive efforts in bumpers, including 4L fourth behind subsequent Champion Bumper winner Fayonagh at Naas in November. First run for 162 days and could have her say in this field.

Form: 07/545-

Empors Sword³⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kenneally

50/1

Sent off 50/1 and beaten out of sight in a C&D bumper 12 months and hasn't been spotted since. Likely to have limited aspirations for this.

Form: 0-

Glebe Girl²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

14/1

Penny appeared to drop last month in Tramore contest over this 2m trip, staying on late to finish third of 14, beaten just under 5L. More of that should see her competitive again.

Form: 6/563-9

Gragara Tara²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: P Meany

25/1

Well beaten off on debut at Wexford last month in 2m bumper, wasn't given a hard time however and could offer more on second outing.

Form: 9-0

Nellie Don It

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P T Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: T Foley

33/1

Olden Times mare makes only moderate appeal on breeding and is one to watch on debut unless the market vibes are significant.

Form: 5

Nun's Cross⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: L Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: E J O'Grady

7/1

Dug in to win a Clonmel bumper on debut in March under this rider, should improve for the effort and entitled to go close in follow-up bid.

Form: D-

Wings Like Arion²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S Clements⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

7/1

Decent start to be third at Wexford on debut in March, was attempting to make a bold bid from the front back there last month when slipping and unseating turning for home. Probably would have been placed at best, and perhaps similar aspirations are fair here.

Form: 3S-

Wingsofredemption²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M P Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Kiely

25/1

Cheap purchase and likely to be suited by plenty further than this with more time on the evidence of debut run at Wexford last month.

Form: 0-

Alaliya¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: G T Lynch

14/1

Not disgraced in four outings so far, two in bumpers and two over timber, wouldn't require much more to see her competitive in a race like this.

Form: 3636-

Alletrix

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J J O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

11/2

Flemensfirth filly cos €15,000 as a 3yo, represents trainer in flying form over a sustained period of time and is well worth a market check on debut (one of two for the yard in this contest).

Form:

Dalouga¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

3/1

Represents the Elliott squad, came home well at Fairyhouse last month on debut to finish a never-nearer second over this trip. Surely will be capable of having a big say now with improvement likely.

Form: 2-

Dubai My Way^h1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr A J Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Kenny

50/1

Somewhat better showing on second start at Tramore last month, needs more again to have a say in what looks a competitive big-field heat.

Form: 68-

Flamingo's Court

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr T Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: P Casey

50/1

This Court Cave filly is a rare bumper runner for the yard (none in previous 12 months) and chances appear to be limited on pedigree.

Form:

Thelunarschooner²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly

33/1

Beat 78L in a Limerick bumper last month on debut, did shape with some promise for some of the journey then and perhaps will be fitter now.

Form: 7-

Treasure Mountain

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: T J Corcoran

33/1

Mountain High filly represents yard with just one previous winner under rules and a record of 0/61 in this sphere. Would be a turn-up if she collects this.

Form:

Victoria Bay²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: C Bowe

6/1

8L winner of a point-to-point at Inch last month, first venture onto the racecourse for this daughter of Doyen and one of the more appealing newcomers given that recent success.

Form: 1-

Whats Your Beef

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kennedy

50/1

Milan filly has some positives in her breeding, though trainer hasn't enjoyed a winner from 12 runners over the past year. May benefit from the run.

Form:

Tsarina Sophia^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr G M Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: Diarmuid P Ryan

33/1

A €17,000 3yo Soviet Star mare, she's a half-sister to three winners and makes some appeal here. Down to wear hood on debut if running (First Reserve).

Don't Tell Mom finished within 5L of the mighty Fayonagh at Naas in November, form that now reads well. She's experienced in this sphere but hasn't been the most dependable to date. Wings Like Arion was in the process of running a decent race at Wexford on second start, having hit the frame at the venue first time out, before an untimely slip and again should have place claims. Glebe Girl finally seemed to get the message at Tramore last month when running on to good effect and should have more to offer while Nun's Cross showed a good attitude to make a winning start at Clonmel and will surely come on for the run if handling this better ground. DALOUGA seemed to take an age to pick up for this rider on debut at Fairyhouse before eventually flying home, with the benefit of that run, she should be much more alert now and can take the finale.
