Golden Oriole

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽⁵⁾| T: R P McNamara

14/1

Nicely-bred newcomer for a trainer that has been doing well in his fledgling career, no surprise to see him involved in the shake-up.

Form:

Tikken Away²⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: R L Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

66/1

Struggled in a couple of previous bumper runs and has it all to prove at this stage.

Form: 70

Imperial Way²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Miss S O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

10/1

Twice settled for second in bumpers already, including this C&D last month might prove to have been better ground than he'll get here. Has his chance again.

Form: 22

Its All Guesswork⁴⁶

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

7/2

Respectable effort at this track in maiden hurdle over Christmas, entitled to get involved now switched to bumpers.

Form: 76

Line Out⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: J E Kiely

7/1

Clear second in C&D bumper in December, will take more to win this but entitled to come on for the run.

Form: 925-

Someday²⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Miss K Harrington⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

3/1

Close-up second behind Cilaos Emery in Punchestown bumper in April, off since, but that looks fair form now and should give a good account on return to action.

Form: 21

Suncroft

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr S Clements⁽³⁾| T: A Fleming

12/1

Newcomer is well-enough bred for this challenge but faces a fair challenge. Trainer is three from seven in this sphere over past 12 months and he cost plenty, worth a market check.

Form: 4-

Voix Des Tiep

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

7/4

Another of the newcomers and is due plenty respect hailing from champion trainer's reliable bumper string.

Voix Des Tiep (7/4), Someday (3/1), Its All Guesswork (7/2), Line Out (7/1), Imperial Way (10/1), Suncroft (12/1), Golden Oriole (14/1), Remastered (16/1), M Seven Seven Gus (20/1), Tikken Away (66/1)

The form of SOMEDAY's runner-up finish at Punchestown in April now reads well and he's taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking despite being off the track since. He certainly won't get it all his own way with some potentially smart newcomers lining up against him. Voix Des Tiep is greatly respected given his connections while Suncroft is another to look out for a trainer that boast an excellent strike rate from a small team. Golden Oriole is the third racecourse debutant for whom this is every chance of a winning start. Of the others with track form, Its All Guesswork ran well enough on sole previous outing over hurdles to suggest he'll have a chance. 1. Someday 2. Suncroft 3. Voix Des Tiep
