14/1
Useful bumper winner who made a promising start, but hasn't yet progressed as expected over hurdles, tending to find less than he promises to. Has previously worn a tongue-tie, and cheekpieces now tried on his return from a 12-month absence, and the market will be informative.

9/1
Won a Thurles bumper on his second start in October, having shown promise on hurdles debut previous month, but weakened tamely in similar event won by Samcro at Fairyhouse last month. That run too bad to be true, and he's not easily ruled out on earlier efforts.

8/1
Bumper winner in 2015, and similar form when placed in maiden hurdles last winter. No further progress on handicap debut at Punchestown last month, but has place claims back in calmer waters, for all his stamina for this trip isn't assured.

Wore a tongue tie for first time when second in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m) in March 2016, and making stable debut after an absence when mid-field over this trip at Navan. Should do better with that run under his belt.

Runner-up in a pair of Down Royal bumpers (to Death Duty on latter occasion), but hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles, and easy to oppose on balance.

16/1
Placed over hurdles and fences last season, but just a fair handicapper, and limited appeal back in maiden company, even if he is perked up by the fitting of blinkers.

Related to winners, but fell early on hurdles debut, and never out of the rear division in bumper at Punchestown recently.

7/1
Ex-pointer who has been placed in both starts over hurdles, most recently when runner-up in C&D maiden last month. Bit more required in form terms, but should do better yet, and one to consider.

Hopelessly tailed off on hurdles debut at Thurles in March, and easy to omit him from calculations.

Sharps Choice32
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins
3/1
Placed on first two starts in bumpers, and strong claims on form which saw him beaten a head in 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles in February, but has been beaten favourite on both starts since, and is becoming expensive to follow.

Tailed off on all three starts over hurdles, and appears very limited on that evidence.

Unseated early on rules bow over fences, and always trailing over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month. Wears a hood for first time here.

11/1
Best effort in this sphere when second at Down Royal (2m) in January. Hasn't matched that since, although noted staying on late at Tipperary last time, and may be worth another chance at this trip.

Flat-bred mare who has shown only modest ability in bumpers and makes her hurdles debut with cheekpiece fitted.

6/1
Quite useful in bumpers, and built on earlier hurdles promise when runner-up over this trip at Clonmel in November. Disappointed on handicap bow, but found to be lame, and can bounce back on return from a break.

Has looked of no account in a couple of outings to date, failing to beat another rival. Tongue tied now.

Forecasts

Art Of Synergy (3/1), Sharps Choice (3/1), Cuneo (11/2), Sweet Shirleen (6/1), Great Khan (7/1), Valgor Du Ronceray (8/1), L'andana (9/1), Well Joey (11/1), Investmentsuccess (14/1), Dr Waluigi (16/1), Magic Three (33/1), Jolly Windsor (50/1), Rudy Catrail (50/1), Gertoni (66/1), Catch A Lucky Star (66/1), Jerigo (66/1), Vodka Society (100/1), The Girl Drawer (100/1), Sunken Treasure (100/1)

Verdict

SWEET SHIRLEEN was found to be lame after disappointing last time, but has leading claims on earlier form, and is preferred to Great Khan, who can boast good recent form over C&D. Valgor du Ronceray ran respectably in a warm handicap last time, and will appreciate the return to maiden company.
  1. Sweet Shirleen
  2. Great Khan
  3. Valgor Du Ronceray
