Selected odds by:

Accidental Rebel⁵⁰

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

6/1

Well beaten on hurdles bow at Thurles despite attracting support, but fared a bit better when sixth of 13 to Golden Spread in maiden bumper there last month. Needs to take another leap forward now, but that can't be ruled out.

Form: 96

Dark Lightning²⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A M King⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Delcros

66/1

Has a speed-based pedigree, and has looked short on stamina in a handful of runs for Seamus Fahey, achieving little as a result. Makes debut for new yard now.

Form: 90P

Ennemi Public⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

10/1

Better effort in this sphere when a fair fourth at Cork on debut, but finished behind Accidental Rebel at Thurles last time, and needs to improve markedly on that showing. Looks a stayer.

Form: 47

Track Mac¹¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: P F Cashman

10/1

Presenting half-brother to this season's exciting novice hurdler Champ, out of a half-sister to Best Mate. Runner-up on completed start in point-to-points, although has failed to finish five times.

Form: FF2FPF

Botani⁸²

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

5/6

Has quite a modest pedigree, but in excellent hands, and shaped very well when 5½L fourth of 8 to Santa Rossa in Grade 2 mares event at Leopardstown. The one to beat on form.

Form: 4

Gotthenod^t1⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

14/1

Fair form in two of her five bumper starts including when beaten a little over 5L at Punchestown over 2m2f. Weakened tamely when well held on hurdles debut last time, and newly-fitted tongue tie hints at breathing problems.

Form: 230560

Moyode Lady¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A McMahon⁽⁷⁾| T: J Nash

66/1

Failed to beat a rival on her previous bumper outing, and fared only a little better tried over hurdles last time. Easy to dismiss again.

Form: 96

Centaur^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

7/2

Canford Cliffs half-brother to 3 winners, including unbeaten bumper performer Happy Hollow. Stamina a small concern, but makes plenty of appeal for powerful yard, and one to take seriously.

Form:

Doonbeg Glory

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr H D Dunne⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Flynn

33/1

Fame And Glory filly from family of useful bumper performer Senorita Rumbalita. Some appeal on pedigree, so market check advised.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Botani (5/6), Centaur (7/2), Accidental Rebel (6/1), Ennemi Public (10/1), Track Mac (10/1), Gotthenod (14/1), Still Haventaclue (25/1), Doonbeg Glory (33/1), Moyode Lady (66/1), Dark Lightning (66/1)

BOTANI sets a very clear standard in this ordinary event by dint of her fourth in Grade 2 company at Leopardstown. The others with experience don't look world beaters, so newcomer Centaur, who is related to 3-time bumper winner Happy Hollow, looks the main danger. Track Mac has struggled to complete in the point-to-point field, but this half-brother to Champ should appreciate the different test.
