11/10

Two-time winning point-to-pointer, changed hands for £100,000 after landing second of those in March. Won a Leopardstown bumper by 8L in a facile win and likely to be a warm order here.

Form: 21-1

Invincible Cave¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| D

5/2

Picked up for £210,000 at Doncaster in May after clocking a good time and running out an impressive winner of a Bartlemy point-to-point. Won on bumper debut at Navan in November but may have to settle for a place.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Ms K Walsh| T: T M Walsh| D

7/1

Finished 7L fourth in a good ground bumper at Bellewstown in August but failed to complete twice over hurdles since before winning a Tramore bumper in December but up against it here.

Form: 40-4FB1

Alpine Cobra

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J Mulvihill⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

14/1

Scorpion gelding out of a Tirol mare related to the likes of Might Bite and Don't Touch It. Plenty on his plate here on debut.

Gallant John Joe²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J J Codd| T: O McKiernan

10/1

Fourth in what appears to have been a very strong bumper at Punchestown last April but failed to sparkle here last month. Significant jockey booking but looks vulnerable here.

Form: 4-5

Press Conference⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss K Harrington⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

6/1

Solid and consistent form in two point-to-point starts winning last time out in December. Worth a market check on debut.

Form: 3-1

Madera Express²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey

25/1

Has rendered a couple of satisfactory runs in two point-to-point starts winning most recently earlier this month. Capable of running in to a place.

Forecasts

Carefully Selected (11/10), Invincible Cave (5/2), Press Conference (6/1), Kildorrery (7/1), Gallant John Joe (10/1), Alpine Cobra (14/1), Madera Express (25/1)

CAREFULLY SELECTED was most impressive sprinting clear from the home turn in a Leopardstown bumper in December and will take some beating if in the same form. Invincible Cave and Gallant John Joe can battle for the runner-up position.
