Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

16/1

Well beaten when finishing ninth on debut at Killarney (good) last month. Likely to be of more interest further down the line.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: J P O'Brien

3/1

Ran well to finish third of nine over an extended 2m at Ballinrobe (good) when debuting in a bumper last month. Leading amateur booked to ride and likely to run well again today.

Form: 3

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J J Codd| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

Unraced Doyen gelding cost €24,000 as a yearling in November 2014. Half-brother to point-to-point winner Supreme Regime and another string to his trainers bow here.

16/1

Ran respectably in two bumper outings so far including when fifth of 14 at Downpatrick (good) over an extended 2m1f last time. Likely more needed to take this however.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: L Byrne

33/1

Finished last of five in a point-to-point on debut last month and beaten 20L in a bumper at Punchestown (good) last month. Others make more appeal here.

Form: 56

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: J Halley

22/1

beaten 33L into fifth in a bumper on debut at Punchestown (good) last month. Probably best watched in this contest.

Youghal By The Sea

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss M M Gannon

5/1

Unraced home-bred son of Milan. Full-brother to bumper winner Crusingdownriver but probably best watched for a yard who are just 1/25 with their bumper runners in recent years.

Form:

Drumnagreagh⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: B Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

33/1

Pulled up in a point-to-point last month but fared better when 6L fourth of 11 over 2m in a bumper at Perth (good) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market for a good yard here.

Form: P4

State Of Nirvana⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: T J Taaffe

9/2

Ran well when finishing 3½L third of 12 in a 2m bumper at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) on debut in April. Worth a check in the market today.

Form: 3-

Forecasts

Border Control (3/1), Scheu Time (4/1), Champagne Paddy (9/2), State Of Nirvana (9/2), Youghal By The Sea (5/1), Ballybrowney Jack (16/1), Exit West (16/1), Penneys Hun (22/1), Drumnagreagh (33/1), Aroundthebridge (33/1), Jacobite Rising (33/1)

SCHEU TIME can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this concluding bumper. The selection finish a good fourth at Down Royal last month and is taken to get the better of State Of Nirvana who ran well to finish third on her debut at Punchestown last month while the Joseph O'Brien-trained trio, headed by Border Control are others to note in this.
