Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss J Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins| OR: 115| D

15/2

Showed improved form to run out a convincing winner at Thurles in February. Ran below that level when well held in 14-runner Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last time, but may bounce back.

Form: 410

Dysart Dynamo³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

1/1

Well backed and made a successful debut in the style of a useful prospect (11/10) at Clonmel (18.5f, soft) 37 days ago, keeping on well. Much respected.

Form: 1

Ever Present⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr M McGuane⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| CD

14/1

Won on debut over C&D in October. Ran to a similar level at Navan but well held in Grade 2 at Leopardstown last time.

Form: 148

Forged In Fire^t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: J P O'Brien| D

22/1

Beat subsequent 2020 Champion Bumper winner Ferny Hollow on debut and showed something like that form in a first-time tongue tie back in this sphere when third of 6 at Naas in February. Respected.

Form: 1-6P3

Glen Wyllin^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney

14/1

Produced a borderline useful effort in a tongue tie when winning 14-runner bumper at Ballinrobe (17.6f, good to soft, 25/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. May do better.

Form: 1

Gordon Dai Dai¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr T Feeney⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Burke| D

50/1

Made a successful debut in 8-runner bumper (20/1) at Galway (16.4f, heavy) on NH debut in October, going clear. That form hasn't worked out though, so others preferred in a deeper race now.

Form: 1

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr J J Codd| T: H De Bromhead| C

5/2

Winning pointer who made a successful bumper debut in the manner of a useful recruit at this course 45 days ago, keeping on well. Will improve and one to follow.

Form: 11

John Cannon¹⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr Pat Taaffe⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Murphy| D

28/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who made a pleasing start over hurdles when third in 2m maiden at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 33/1) in November.

Form: 81-3

Meet And Greet²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| D

Lispendense¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: D Cullen

Forecasts

Dysart Dynamo (1/1), Grand Jury (5/2), Bardenstown Lad (5/1), Cool Jet (15/2), Glen Wyllin (14/1), Ever Present (14/1), Meet And Greet (22/1), Forged In Fire (22/1), Lispendense (25/1), John Cannon (28/1), Gordon Dai Dai (50/1), Go Boy (80/1)

GRAND JURY won in the manner of a useful recruit here last month and looks one to follow. Dysart Dynamo's debut win is supported by a good timefigure so he's well respected, as is Forged in Fire, who boasts some tidy form in this sphere.
