Selected odds by:

Baboin^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J P O'Brien

7/2

Cost €42,000 as a three-year-old Creachadoir gelding out of an American Post mare. Well held on a couple of previous bumper starts for trainer Paul Nolan but promising second at Thurles this month on debut for new handler puts him in the mix here.

Form: 5-282

Big Tree²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H McOwan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

50/1

Gelding by Scorpion out of a Luso who cost €12,000 as a three-year-old. Twice well beaten over hurdles so far and plenty to work on now tackling a bumper for the first time.

Form: 66

Conflated^h⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott

11/1

Son of Yeats has been hit and miss in four bumper starts since last spring, went close at Leopardstown over Christmas for this ride but has also proved temperamental at times and tough to put strong faith in him.

Form: F0-U24

De Bus Conductor¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss E A Lalor⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E Lalor

50/1

An €11,000 three-year-old, Alkaadhem gelding. Dam fair 2m6f hurdle winner. Modest form in three point-to-point runs and others seem more likely in this line-up.

Form: PP0

Ensel Du Perche

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: P Fenton

20/1

Anabaa Blue gelding is a half-brother to fair 2m3f chase winner Djarkev. Makes first start under rules and future may well be in that sphere with some time.

Form:

Four Country Roads¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

25/1

Has 7L to make up on Baboin on their recent meeting at Thurles, where he went off a 50-1 chance. Unlikely to best that rival now.

Form: 5583

Lukewarm³²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Crean⁽⁷⁾| T: Charlie Keegan

100/1

Pulled up in a bumper at Roscommon last year and hasn't appeared since. Likely best watched at the moment.

Form: P

Mitchell One

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: Mrs J Harrington

16/1

Le Fou gelding from an unraced dam, commands attention on racecourse bow for top trainer with Lisa O'Neill on board.

Form:

Royal Thief⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: H De Bromhead

1/1

Unraced Flame And Glory gelding out of a Taipan mare. Cost €92,000 as a three-year-old and shaped well last month in Navan maiden hurdle (2m, good to yielding) on debut. Could be a big player switched to bumper.

Form: 3

Sneaky Getaway¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: E Mullins

4/1

Getaway gelding out of a Kahyasi mare. Dam French Flat maiden with form over 1m2f. Was running a bit keen when unseated rider (impeded) on debut at Thurles this month. Gets Patrick Mullins to assist now.

Form: U

Toms Courage^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J M Burke⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke

50/1

Dubai Destination gelding from an unraced dam. Wears hood on this first start and claims are all that obvious.

Form:

Wherewouldugetit¹³⁵

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

20/1

Morozov gelding is a brother to modest 2m7f hurdle winner Walter Oneeightone. Changed hands for €90,000 after winning a point-to-point in November. First start for new connections, market check.

Form: 1

Gise Girl⁶⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: E F Gallagher

100/1

Last spotted in a point-to-point almost two years ago, when well beaten, and looks to have limited claims now returning for rules bow.

Form: 7-

Forecasts

Royal Thief (1/1), Baboin (7/2), Sneaky Getaway (4/1), Conflated (11/1), Mitchell One (16/1), Ensel Du Perche (20/1), Wherewouldugetit (20/1), Working Capitol (20/1), Four Country Roads (25/1), Big Tree (50/1), De Bus Conductor (50/1), Toms Courage (50/1), Gise Girl (100/1), Lukewarm (100/1)

Baboin showed improved form on his first start for Joseph O'Brien recently when second in a bumper at Thurles and should be in the mix but there was also much to like about the run of ROYAL THIEF in a maiden hurdle at Naas as he finished third on debut, with the first and second boosting the form since. He diverts his attention to bumpers and should take some stopping. Working Capitol and Sneaky Getaway could be improvers with excellent jockey bookings in their favour while newcomers Mitchell One and Wherewouldugetit cannot be ignored.
