Selected odds by:

An Fearchan¹²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: G Scott

33/1

Well beaten in a couple of spring point-to-point starts and unlikely to play a role in the finish on debut here.

Form: 40

Greenandwhitearmy⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: N McKnight

14/1

Good effort in finishing 10L second on good ground at Downpatrick when last seen in July. Interesting to see if he can repeat that effort in this contest.

Form: 9-042

Kerry Dawn^t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: T Hogan

50/1

Not much to shout about in a number of bumper starts since June. Will need to show significant improvement here if he is to play a role.

Form: 886

Scotsman's Bay^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: A Fleming

9/2

Third of 14 in bumper at Kilbeggan on debut before showing more promise at Bellewstown last month when a little over 2L adrift of the winner My Friend Aoife. Could be a leading contender in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: F-33

Sinbad

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: R J Osborne

20/1

By Dylan Thomas out of a Sinndar mare. Half-brother to game sorts Peter The Mayo Man and Kingston. Watching brief on debut.

Form:

Cara's Way⁵⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

11/2

Daughter of Robin Des Champs out of a Darazari mare. Last seen in a point-to-point in March 2017 but still worth a market check on debut for leading yard.

Form: P/

Kerry Star^h⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

5/4

Daughter of Oscar out of an unraced half-sister to multiple winner Loose Performer. Beaten favourite on debut for leading bumper trainer/jockey combination and should put the record straight here.

Form: 3

Mitridante^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Ryan

25/1

Daughter of Amadeus Wolf out of a High Chaparral mare. Yard one from seven in bumpers this season, but unlikely to pull off a shock here.

Form:

Trixie Mc²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G P Cromwell

13/2

Yeats mare is a half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Aqua Dude. Encouraging debut at Bellewstown last month and needs to improve on that run to land a blow.

Form: 4

Vic's Little Miss³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: E T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

8/1

Runner-up at Clonmel in June behind a promising sort, perhaps flattered by that judged on subsequent efforts at Killarney and Tramore. Tough ask.

Form: 00-2654

Forecasts

Kerry Star (5/4), Scotsman's Bay (9/2), Cara's Way (11/2), Trixie Mc (13/2), Vic's Little Miss (8/1), Greenandwhitearmy (14/1), Sinbad (20/1), Mitridante (25/1), An Fearchan (33/1), Kerry Dawn (50/1)

There should be no excuses for the Willie Mullins-trained KERRY STAR not to be able to build on a promising 1L defeat on debut at Sligo last month and land the closing contest here seeing off the expected attentions of the Barry Connell-owned Scotsman's Bay, Gordon Elliott debutante, Cara's Way and the potentially exciting Trixie Mc.
