By Flemensfirth out of a Turtle Island mare. €50,00 as a three-year-old and with a powerful owner/trainer combination and expected to improve for debut run here.

10/3

Son of Ask and a half-brother to winner Mahler And Me. Will come on for debut when finishing second of five beaten 2¼L in a Clonmel bumper in March. Capable of having his say.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B O Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: B Jordan

16/1

Arakan gelding out of a Craigsteel mare has failed to finish in two point-to-point starts this year and doesn't warrant support here.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

25/1

Kaieteur horse (entire) out of a Flemensfirth mare. Not much to go on in terms of pedigree and ran green on debut in a Navan bumper in March. Expected to find a couple quicker than him here.

Stowaway filly out of a Lomitas mare. Sire has plenty of successful national hunt progeny with the likes of Hidden Cyclone, Champagne Fever and Outlander. Promising third of eight on debut here in September and expected to go well following break.

Forecasts

Champagne Paddy (7/4), Gallowglass (10/3), Acronym (7/2), On His Toes (8/1), Stacey's Pride (14/1), Knock On Steel (16/1), Amicus Abu (16/1), Delightful Dame (16/1), Russian Soldier (25/1), Captain Doran (33/1)

Acronym in the ownership of Gigginstown House Stud will have plenty of supporters here for the Gordon Elliott/Lisa O'Neill combination but it may pay to side with the promising previous racecourse experience of Gallowglass, second of five in a weak Clonmel bumper or the Charles Byrnes-trained STACY'S PRIDE, a keeping on third of eight beaten 3¾L here in September.
