Selected odds by:

Ificudiwud²³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: N Meade

11/2

Trans Island gelding doesn't boast especially strong claims on paper. Well beaten in Punchestown bumper in April 2017. Won a point-to-point in May last year and has joined Noel Meade since. Watch betting.

Form: 0/1

Duca Di Milano²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: P A Fahy

14/1

Didn't show a lot in pair of Galway bumper in the autumn (not disgraced) and twice well beaten around here in maiden hurdles more recently. Booking of Patrick Mullins this time catches the eye.

Form: 5808

Fiddlerontheroof¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr H C Swan⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

7/1

Stowaway gelding out of a Montjeu mare. Cost €38,000 as a three-year-old. Only beaten a length into third of 11 on bumper bow at Limerick recently. Player if building on that effort.

Form: 4-53

Run Wild Fred²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

4/7

Disqualified for prohibited substance after winning a Point-to-point in May (mixed messages from form) and fetched £225,000 later in the month. Good effort in Listed Navan bumper last month on stable bow. In the mix here.

Form: D3

Tapenade

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

25/1

Makes first trip to the racecourse and Scorpion gelding looks least likely of Gordon Elliott's pair in this contest on paper.

Form:

Young Dev²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

8/1

Credible in bumpers (better than previously over hurdles) and was 8L second of 10 at Thurles just before Christmas. Likely has more to find to go one better today.

Form: F0U3-62

Drumbaragh¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: G Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: N Carolan

80/1

Daughter of Dylan Thomas out of a Langfuhr mare, 66/1 and no impact here on New Year's Day on debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Run Wild Fred (4/7), Ificudiwud (11/2), Fiddlerontheroof (7/1), Young Dev (8/1), Duca Di Milano (14/1), Tapenade (25/1), Drumbaragh (80/1)

A rare bumper that sees no entry from the champion trainer but enough to ensure a betting check is required on Duca Di Milano, who must improve on form but get Patrick Mullins' assistance this time. RUN WILD FRED sets the standard having finished third in a Listed Navan bumper last month and should have plenty to say for the in-form Gordon Elliott team now. Point-to-point winner Ificudiwud, also in the Gigginstown silks, is a likely danger with Noel Meade's bumper runners performing well. Fiddlerontheroof must learn from his Limerick debut third a fortnight ago and will be on the premises if doing so.
