Jerandme³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade| D

9/10

Azamour gelding related to NH types Zarkandar, Third Intention and Jenkins. Kept on well on debut at Down Royal last month when not unbacked winning by ¾L. Another bold show looks likely.

Form: 1

Chasing Abbey^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

25/1

€21,000 as a foal. Gelding by Yeats out of a Presenting mare related to plenty of solid national hunt types but the fitting of a tongue-tie on debut is a major concern.

Form:

Highway Prince³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P Power⁽⁵⁾| T: Bernard Crowley

50/1

Prince Flori gelding out of an Allied Forces mare. Sire and dam not noted for national hunt progeny. Probably best avoided on this occasion.

Form: 8

Point Break³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: T E Hyde

11/1

Well adrift of The Red Menace on debut in a Sligo bumper last month. Tough ask on debut for new connections.

Form: P-5

State Of Cognac¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Pat Taaffe⁽⁷⁾| T: T J Taaffe

4/1

Fame And Glory gelding out of a Kornado mare. Improved on a dismal debut in March when staying on strongly in the final stages in a Down Royal bumper to be 1¼L adrift of the winner Moratorium. Improvement expected in this company.

Form: 8-4

Steel Tornado

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: J R Barry

12/1

September Storm gelding out of a Medaille Millitaire cost €17,000 as a three-year-old. Worth a market check on debut with interesting jockey engagement.

Form:

Subset¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: E T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

6/1

Darley Stud sire Dahjee gelding who is not yet renowned for his national hunt progeny. Will come on for the experience of his debut when sixth of 14 at Ballinrobe last month and entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 6

Amber Groove^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Smith

50/1

Cheap purchase daughter of Denham Red out of a Malinas mare. Best watched on debut with tongue-tie already fitted a major concern.

Form:

Sporting Stowaway

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

16/1

Stowaway filly out of a Kayf Tara mare related to solid national hunt types Hiiden Cyclone and Champagne Fever. Worth a market check on debut for a yard hitting the bar of late.

Form:

Tamer Years³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: R O'Sullivan

33/1

Arctic Cosmos filly out of a Saddlers Hall mare related to game national hunt types Uncle Junior and Master Of The Hall.

JERANDME won on debut at Down Royal last month when keeping on well when not unbacked winning by ¾L on good ground beating 13 rivals in the process and it would be of no surprise to see the Azamour gelding improve on that display here. The improving Fame And Glory gelding State Of Cognac and Steel Tornado the mount of Patrick Mullins can follow the selection home in the closing contest.
