Age: 5| Weight: 12-3| J: C P McNamara⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

11/4

Won a second bumper at Killarney over a similar trip last month beating Celine Soprano ½L. Yard going well this week and likely to run well once again.

Form: 52-9161

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan| D

5/2

By Kalanisi out of an Aboo Hom mare. Won on debut when landing the spoils in a Down Royal bumper at odds of 25/1 in the five runner contest. More needed but not ruled out.

Form: 1

Celine Soprano^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: Patrick Cronin

5/1

Winner of a Wexford bumper in May by 13L but has appeared to 'bump' into a couple in competitive events since. Finished ½L behind Bentham at Killarney last month. More progress possible.

Form: 32-1292

Mr Dee Cee^t¹⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Hayes

66/1

Mr Dinos gelding from an unraced dam, failed to complete in string of maiden point-to-points before tailing off on debut in a Kilbeggan bumper when last seen in June.

Form: FP/PUP-0

Snowpiercer^h1¹⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr M J Sweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally

7/2

Placed twice in maiden point-to-point contests earlier this year; first-time headgear applied but still very difficult to make a case for unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: P33-

Forest De Montave^h1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: S Curling

25/1

Slickly Royal gelding. Dam unraced. Clipped heels and unseated rider on debut over C&D on Tuesday. Unlikely to play a significant part in the finish.

Form: U

One For Joe

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr T Joseph Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

9/1

Gelding by Arctic Cosmos out of a Black Sam Bellamy mare. €14,000 as a three-year-old. Will possibly need the run on debut but worth a market check as post time approaches.

Form:

Georgina Burgess^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne

16/1

Not disgraced in four career bumper starts to date without ever challenging the main protagonists. Unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Form: P-5346

Pepite De Belle

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Flynn

14/1

Daughter of Great Pretender out of a Fly To The Stars mare. Inexpensive filly cost €4,5000 as a three-year-old. Co Cork yard not renowned for bumper winners.

Forecasts

Donacheady Gale (5/2), Bentham (11/4), Snowpiercer (7/2), Celine Soprano (5/1), One For Joe (9/1), Pepite De Belle (14/1), Georgina Burgess (16/1), Forest De Montave (25/1), Mr Dee Cee (66/1)

Trainer John Ryan has his bumpers in good form, especially at this meeting. The Co Tipperary handler saddled Mystery Stowaway to win on Sunday, while The Little Yank finished second of 16 on the level on Tuesday. The yard's, DONACHEADY GALE can land the closing race of the 2019 festival with the Gavin Cromwell-trained, Bentham, Celine Soprano, second to Bentham last time out and One For Joe his closest pursuers.
