€14,000 3-y-o, Dalakhani gelding is a rare bumper runner for the trainer (just two before) and it would be a surprise to see him win on debut.

Good debut to be third at Leopardstown over this trip behind very capable winner, likely improver and should take the beating in this contest.

Form of the yard has picked up slightly of late, though trainer isn't noted for bumper winners and expectations probably modest here.

Duke Of Kilcorral
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-7| J: B J Foley(7)| T: M P Sunderland
33/1
Flat-bred Duke of Marmalade gelding, makes racecourse bow in this contest and represents trainer with 0/46 record in bumpers.

9/4
Alex The Winner gelding represents the recent Gold Cup-winning trainer and she also holds a decent record in this sphere. Market check essential.

Well held in a Limerick bumper last week, finishing around 15L in arrears. Should learn from that experience and can do better.

Vladakar
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J Codd| T: P M J Doyle
4/1
Another notable newcomer, small yard representing powerful Gigginstown team but tends to do well in bumpers. €60,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding is much-respected here with Codd booked.

Third at Gowran Park early this month on first outing, switches from hurdles to bumper now and could have more to offer.

Coldamour
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-0| J: Katie Walsh| T: Peter Fahey
6/1
Azamour filly looks to have been pitched into a potentially spicy contest on her first trip to the racecourse.

Trainer doesn't have many bumper winners (1/80) and this filly out of Stowaway will be doing well to double that tally today.

Forecasts

Nevsky (9/4), Dasmyhoss (3/1), Spin A Yarn (10/3), Vladakar (4/1), Coldamour (6/1), Discorama (8/1), Railway Muice (16/1), Alaliya (20/1), Contented (25/1), Duke Of Kilcorral (33/1), Lady Maram (50/1)

Verdict

DASMYHOSS sets a fair standard for some interesting newcomers to aim at here. He was third on debut at Leopardstown with the winner since going on to finish runner-up in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. With normal improvement, he should be up to winning this contest barring the arrival of a high-quality newcomer. Of the others with form, Alaliya may do best. There are of course some newcomers eager to spoil the party. Spin A Yarn, Nevsky and Vladakar are of most interest, the latter's trainer boasts a winning percentage of over 10-per-cent in bumpers while the O'Brien representative is also expected to feature prominently today.
