Just the one outing so far, finishing last of six at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago over 2m, plenty room for improvement on that evidence.
A €20,000 3yo Scorpion gelding, he's related to some nice winners including in this sphere. Trainer remains in excellent form despite title bid falling short last week.
Steppe Dancer gelding likely to have limited expectations on his shoulders coming to the track for the first time lest the market suggest otherwise.
Third in 23-runner Punchestown bumper six days ago, possesses decent experience in this sphere already and no shock should it be made to count.
Arakan gelding represents yard that has had a quiet time over the previous 12 months and record is 0/8 in bumpers during that spell.
Well beaten off in two spins over hurdles already, reverts to this sphere now. Trainer doesn't have many bumper runners of late, though overall record is an impressive 15 per-cent strike rate.
First of two for owner/trainer in this line-up, doesn't tend to fire too many winners in this sphere and no surprise should these newcomers benefit from the run.
Second Exit To Nowhere gelding making debut for owner/trainer in this contest, expectations liable to be limited and market can expose any levels of confidence.
Was beaten at the 2f marker on Limerick debut in March, could retain potential for better if meeting likely better ground now.
€16,000 3yo Dick Turpin gelding, yard don't saddle many bumper runners lately and likely to come on for the run.
Galileo gelding has no want for winners in his extended family, rates a very interesting newcomer for young trainer with one of the most competent amateur riders booked for the steer.
Dubai Destination gelding is third runner for this yard and also boasts plenty of promise on breeding for a test like this, market check essential.
Twice runner-up in three outings in this sphere, denied just a neck at Naas in February when last spotted. Katie Walsh gets on well with him and should go close again.
Lawman gelding is worthy of a market check for this first outing with training remaining in sparkling form.
Arcadio gelding doesn't appeal as a betting proposition on debut here unless there are significant vibes in his favour in the market.
September Storm filly is a newcomer for a yard with an overall record of 2/78 in this sphere and doesn't appeal for this racecourse bow.
Unable to lay down a challenge in either bumper outing so far and likely is going be similarly up against it now.

Cornelius Sulla (6/4), Scheu Time (5/1), Los Alamos (6/1), Tommy Think Twice (7/1), Captiva Island (10/1), His Dream (14/1), Mischievious Max (14/1), Blunder Buss (14/1), Da Boss Says Sell (16/1), Exit Plan (20/1), Exit West (20/1), London To York (20/1), Diamond Warrior (33/1), Cedarhurst (40/1), Alfred Eile (50/1), Waittillisee (50/1), Maureen's Star (66/1), Big Seas (66/1)
Cornelius Sulla has fairly strong claims on form having chased home Debuchet previously and run another sound race last week at Punchestown. He is the headline act here from a trio out of the O'Brien yard, but newcomers Los Alamos and Mischievious Max are not discounted easily – with the former getting a notable jockey booking on debut. SCHEU TIME has run solid races in three previous bumpers and was only just denied last time at Naas, he might be able to get the job done under his excellent lady rider.
- Scheu Time
- Cornelius Sulla
