Gelding by Mahler out of a Bach mare. Winner on debut at Wexford in June before finishing third of eight, ahead of Bentham, at the Galway festival earlier this month.
Spanish Moon gelding. He is a half-brother to Cousin Germain who was successful over hurdles and fences. Battling success on debut in a Roscommon bumper this month and capable of another bold effort.
Comfortably landed Wexford bumper in May and only narrowly edged out under penalty in Killarney bumper last month. Well held at Cork recently on maiden hurdle debut, but could be a live contender back on the level.
Shantou gelding out of a Charnwood Forest mare. Brother to useful hurdler Line Out and bumper winner Toe The Line. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.
Shirocco gelding out of a Milan mare. Nothing of note in a couple of point-to-point starts earlier this year. Appears to be up against it on debut.

The Spanish Moon gelding, FEUX DE BOIS can add to his debut bumper win earlier this month at Roscommon in this closing contest. The Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old can hold off any challenge that may be forthcoming from the likes of the late developing, Celine Soprano and John McConnell's Cabin Hill who won on debut at Wexford in June. Newcomer Harrison Line could be worth a check in the market come race time.
