Horse silk
Bob Le Flambeur43
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: E O'Connell(7)| T: E J O'Grady
14/1
Half-brother to Great Khan (runs 5.15) and not unfancied for bumper debut at Limerick, but only fifth after racing freely. Should improve, particularly if settling better.
2
Horse silk
Major Destination355
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D J Benson(5)| T: N Meade
2/1
Dubai Destination half-brother to hurdles winner Finding Touch. Runner-up on sole point start at Dromahane last May, and looks a likely player on rules bow for yard with good record in similar races.
3
Horse silk
Or Jaune De Somoza32
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Roche(3)| T: H De Bromhead
9/4
Half-brother to prolific jumps winner Or Noir de Somoza. Finished clear of a subsequent winner when chasing home Fort Montagu in a bumper at Tramore last month, and has scope to improve, so needs serious consideration.
4
Horse silk
Step Forward
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: R Deegan(7)| T: P Nolan
16/1
Ashkalani half-brother to a winning pointer. Yard 7-87 in bumpers in last five seasons, and others make more appeal on paper.
5
Horse silk
Ticonderoga
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: B J Reynolds(7)| T: N Meade
8/1
Robin des Champs half-brother to dual bumper winner Ground Invasion. Appeals on paper for powerful yard, but perhaps significant that Danny Benson appears to prefer Major Destination for same connections.
6
Horse silk
Champayne Ladyt137
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr S Clements(3)| T: A Fleming
8/1
Promising debut when third to Aspen Colorado in a Leopardstown bumper in January 2016, and too much to do when staying on into mid-field there in December when last seen. Not dismissed lightly.
8
Horse silk
Emmas Dilemma33
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F Maguire(5)| T: Miss E Doyle
6/1
Stayed on well when third to Little Folke in a Tramore maiden hurdle last month, and Finny Maguire a positive booking now switching to bumpers, so can't be ruled out.
9
Horse silk
Forbetterorworse21
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R J Gault(7)| T: S Millar
50/1
Has looked of no account in a trio of runs under rules. Can't be looked at as a likely winner.
10
Horse silk
Lauras Witness
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short(7)| T: Miss K Brown
25/1
Witness Box mare out of a Flat maiden. Makes limited appeal on paper, and others have stronger profiles.
11
Horse silk
Sabre Mist
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R A Foley(7)| T: J Long
40/1
By Papal Bull out of an unraced Sabrehill mare. Yard not known for success in this sphere. Yard not associated with success in this sphere.

Forecasts

Major Destination (2/1), Or Jaune De Somoza (9/4), Emmas Dilemma (6/1), Champayne Lady (8/1), Ticonderoga (8/1), Bob Le Flambeur (14/1), Step Forward (16/1), Dino's Dream (16/1), Lauras Witness (25/1), Sabre Mist (40/1), Forbetterorworse (50/1)

Verdict

The form of OR JAUNE DE SOMOZA's second at Tramore has been franked by a win for the third, and he looks the likeliest winner. Major Destination is one of a pair for Noel Meade and Patricia Hunt, and is preferred by Danny Benson, so is feared accordingly, with Emmas Dilemma best of the others.
  1. Or Jaune De Somoza
  2. Major Destination
  3. Emmas Dilemma
