Cornelius Sulla^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

33/1

Didn't make much of an impression on recent debut at Naas, cheekpieces go on now and will need to work the oracle.

Dasmyhoss

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F Maguire⁽⁵⁾| T: R P McNamara

5/1

Nicely bred sort makes racecourse debut here and trainer has been bullish on his team of bumper horses.

Form:

Debuchet²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins

13/8

Word down late on at Naas on debut earlier this month, clear of the remainder and sets the standard on that evidence.

Form: 212

Delface²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr S Clements⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

12/1

Newcomer with just modest pedigree on the Flat, this looks a stiff enough opening challenge.

Form: 9

Its Only A Dream

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J Codd| T: C O'Brien

14/1

Trainer hasn't had much luck in these races lately but notable jockey booking ensures this one is worth a look in the market.

Form: 80-

King Jeremy²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane

33/1

Another debutant with only moderate pedigree for this type of test, yard is not renowned for bumper winners.

Form:

Le Richebourg²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss S O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

13/8

Well-supported favourite for Naas debut earlier this month, finished more than five-lengths off Debuchet when settling for third. Should improve but will need to.

Form: 32-

Scheu Time¹⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Katie Walsh| T: J Nash

20/1

Runner-up in Exeter contest in October, a bit green at the finish. Goes up in trip here and should know more about the task at hand.

Form: 252-

Miss Sassie^t1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

25/1

Pedigree does offer some hope for this first appearance but others set a fair standard to aim at.

Forecasts

Debuchet (13/8), Le Richebourg (13/8), Dasmyhoss (5/1), Delface (12/1), Its Only A Dream (14/1), Scheu Time (20/1), Miss Sassie (25/1), Cornelius Sulla (33/1), King Jeremy (33/1), A Three Eighty (33/1)

A couple of these are renewing acquaintances having tussled at Naas earlier this month and they set the standard in terms of those with experience. Le Richebourg was favourite then but was beaten fair and square by DEBUCHET. He travelled ominously before just being done late on and there's a strong chance he'll improve and get the job done now. Scheu Time should also be wiser after his Exeter outing back in October and can take a hand in proceedings. Of the newcomers, Its Only A Dream is interesting on jockey booking alone while Dasmyhoss is also noted given his trainer expects his bumper team to prove themselves in the months ahead. 1.
