Derrinross³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Katie Walsh| T: J P Dempsey

4/1

Fair introduction on bumper debut at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, chasing home odds-on favourite with the pair some way clear. Sure to have more to offer.

Form: 1-2

Catwalk King³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr F Maguire⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

40/1

Newcomer for a yard going through a decent spell, worth a check in the market.

Form: 41

Clitandre³⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

2/1

Had to settle for second in sole point-to-point run and has since been sent to the champion trainer's yard, very much one to consider.

Form: 2-6

Fly Rory Fly^t1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

14/1

Showed some promise on Leopardstown debut in December, should be fitter and wiser for that effort and can do better.

Form: 5529-13

Judgement Day³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr D Roche⁽⁵⁾| T: H De Bromhead

7/2

Point winter, couldn't reel in front running winner on rules bow at Limerick in December when sent off favourite but beat the remainder in fair enough style.

Form: 1-

Oakley Hall²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

9/4

Twice runner-up in bumpers already including last month at Fairyhouse, should be capable of more and unlikely to be too long before he gets off the mark.

Forecasts

Clitandre (2/1), Oakley Hall (9/4), Judgement Day (7/2), Derrinross (4/1), Fly Rory Fly (14/1), Ballinahinch (25/1), Catwalk King (40/1)

Clitandre is a respected rules debutant for the champion trainer but this isn't easy and he hasn't raced since a point-to-point win in February so is conceding fitness to some potentially above average rivals. Derrinross went close on New Year's Day at Fairyhouse and is clearly a threat but his jockey that day sides with OAKLEY HALL instead. He's twice settled for the runner-up role already but looks to be progressing and can put his experience to use now with a top bumper rider on top. Judgement Day is another that made a good impression in a Limerick bumper in December and is very capable of improving in this competitive looking finale. 1. Oakley Hall 2. Derrinross 3. Clitandre
