Ballyredinkingston⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms H Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Lalor

125/1

Left debut effort behind when third of 8 in lady riders' bumper at Killarney in May but not in same form just 3 days later when fourth of 9 at Clonmel (16.7f, good to firm). Off since and others look more appealing.

Form: 7P54-34

125/1

28/1, shaped similarly to on his debut when fourth of 8 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to firm) 16 days ago.

15/2

Successful on his sole outing in points. 7/2, again shaped encouragingly when third of 18 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft) 5 months ago. Each-way claims if ready to roll.

Garahon^t1²⁶

13/2

Left debut effort behind after 14 months off when second of 14 in bumper at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 7/2) 26 days ago, clear of rest. Tongue strap on 1st time and he looks a sure-fire winner in the near future.

Form: 0/2

Hawk's Rock⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire| T: R P Cody

22/1

Showed plenty to work on when fifth of 12 in bumper (10/1) at Wexford (20f, good to soft) on debut 9 weeks ago. Can improve on that here.

Form: 5

Kashchei¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D L Queally| T: D Queally

9/1

Did all he could back in a bumper when fourth of 14 at Cork (19f, soft, 8/1) back in April, having hopeless task from position. Will need to hit the ground running if he's to feature.

6/1

18/1, made an encouraging start to career when second of 9 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) on debut 6 months ago. In the mix if able to build on that making his return.

80/1

80/1, ran up to best when third of 14 in bumper at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 26 days ago, looking more straightforward than has been the case.

Form: 69/3-43

Form: 3

Wartime Leader⁵⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Made an encouraging start to his career when second of 14 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft, 9/2) on debut 18 months ago. First run for yard after leaving P. M. J. Doyle (£32,000) and makes plenty of appeal having split a pair who both progressed into smart performers.

Forecasts

Wartime Leader (11/4), Welonlyhavedone (7/2), Poetic Glory (5/1), Parnell Street (6/1), Garahon (13/2), Frankie John (15/2), Kashchei (9/1), Expresso Tini (14/1), Hawk's Rock (22/1), Ring Of Kerry (22/1), Apache Tribe (25/1), Red Oak (33/1), Paymelater (80/1), Something Simple (100/1), Bold Rhyme (125/1), Ballyredinkingston (125/1), Mister O Reilly (400/1)

Cases can be made for several, but the verdict goes to WARTIME LEADER, who split a pair who both progressed into smart performers when runner-up in a Naas bumper 18 months ago so can go one better having switched to powerhouse Willie Mullins in the interim. Garahon left his debut effort behind on return at Bellewstown earlier in the month and he looks sure to be involved again, with point winners Welonlyhavedone and Ring of Kerry rounding off the shortlist.
