16/1

Sent off at big prices in three career bumper starts so far, running accordingly on each occasion. Makes little appeal in this company.

Form: 0-56

Better Be Alright¹⁷⁹

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

5/2

Flemensfirth gelding out of dam who showed little on the racecourse. Third of 10 beaten 3¾L on debut in a Limerick bumper last month. Expected to improve on that effort.

Form: 3-

Da Big Fella

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: Eamon Courtney

20/1

Gold Well mare out of a Presenting mare. Dam placed in bumpers/2m hurdles. Market likely to reveal connections expectations on debut.

Eurotiep

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A McMahon⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

2/1

Gelding by Lauro out of a Dom Alco mare. Cost €25,000 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to Altiepix, bumper winner over 2m and Crack Tiepy, successful on sole bumper start at Wexford over 2m4f. Yard have a good bumper record at this festival.

Form:

Shanwalla¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

4/1

Not disgraced when running with credit in four bumper starts to date since making his debut in July but always liable to bump into one.

Form: 6422

Daenerys Stormborn^h,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms K Ferris⁽⁷⁾| T: Eoin Barry

20/1

Won a poit-to-point in March before returning to action at Bellewstown last month. Well held sixth of 13 on that occasion and plenty to prove.

Form: 7/51-6

Tudors Glory¹³

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

7/2

Still looking to get off the mark after five bumper starts so far. Not a forlorn hope but others still more convincing despite notable jockey booking.

Form: 0-4225

Forecasts

Eurotiep (2/1), Better Be Alright (5/2), Tudors Glory (7/2), Shanwalla (4/1), Bartleys Boy (16/1), Daenerys Stormborn (20/1), Da Big Fella (20/1), Lucky Mare (33/1)

The Willie Mullins yard came into this week with a 40% strike rate with their bumper runners in the last four years and the five-year-old gelding, EUROTIEP can add to that total in the closing race of the day. Of those with more experience, the Charles Byrnes-trained, Better Be Alright and Tudors Glory, the mount of Patrick Mullins can battle to grab a place.
