Afareen¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: R K Watson

50/1

Failed to complete three starts (two point-to-points and a maiden hurdle) and can only be watched now switching to bumpers.

Form:

Amber Wings

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P McNeilly⁽⁷⁾| T: R McNeilly

20/1

Winged Love mare with a fair pedigree, but ever chance she'll be better over further in time and represents a virtually unknown yard.

Form:

Caravation

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: J P Dempsey

4/1

A winner of her only start in a point-to-point, which makes her of interest, as does the fact she's ridden by a leading rider in this sphere.

Form:

Killisk Ben Rose

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr K Corrigan⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath

10/1

Fair form in two point-to-points and has now joined this trainer. Pedigree/profile suggests she'll be better over obstacles in time though.

Form:

Oscars Sera³⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N Gault⁽⁷⁾| T: S Millar

33/1

Beat only one home and was 120L behind the winner on only previous start in a bumper last April and impossible to make a case for off the back of that effort.

Form:

Questionation^h1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Mcallister

28/1

Has had plenty of racing in point-to-points without impressing, and previously failed to land a blow racing under rules in bumpers.

Form:

Shirleys Gold Well³¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott

7/1

A winner of her only start in a point-to-point and has since joined this top trainer. May be better over further in time but clearly has ability.

Form:

Timetoget³⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr N J Redmond⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

14/1

Let down by her jumping in the second of her two starts in point-to-points. Has been given a break since but may be better when sent over obstacles.

Form:

Tintangle⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott

8/11

Finished a fine fourth on debut at Leopardstown in February in a Grade 2 won by subsequent Champion Bumper winner Relegate. Holds strong form claims.

Form:

Earthiest Words

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

17/2

Saddler Maker filly, dam was a winner in France and is a sister to a bumper winner. Stable doesn't have the best record in these races, though.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Tintangle (8/11), Caravation (4/1), Agusta Gold (6/1), Shirleys Gold Well (7/1), Earthiest Words (17/2), Killisk Ben Rose (10/1), Timetoget (14/1), Amber Wings (20/1), Questionation (28/1), Oscars Sera (33/1), Afareen (50/1)

The form of TINTANGLE's debut in a Grade 2 last time could hardly be working out better, with the winner going on to land the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and the third running well in the same race. This is obviously much easier and the daughter of Yeats can get off the mark here. Newcomer Agusta Gold and point-to-point winner Shirleys Gold Well are others for the shortlist.
