7/2
Broke his maiden when winning a bumper at Ballinrobe (good) earlier this month. Had stayed on well when finishing third at Tramore prior to that and an interesting runner under a penalty here.

4/7
Winner of a point-to-point at the second attempt at Lisronagh (heavy) in December and successful in a bumper on his debut at Cork (good) over 2m3f last month having changed hands for £100,000 in the interim. Likely to prove hard to beat under a penalty here.

6/1
Placed in two of his three bumper starts to date including when 7L second to Minella Beau at Cork (good) last time. Likely to struggle to reverse form with that rival here and wears a hood for the first time today.

Cost €17,000 as a three-year-old in 2015 and a half-brother to a number of winners. Beaten 62L on debut at Punchestown last month however and a tongue tie is tried here.

16/1
Ran well on first two bumpers including when fourth on debut at Thurles (good) in October last year. Disappointing since however and beaten 41L at Wexford (good) last time out.

Forecasts

Minella Beau (4/7), Billy's Angel (7/2), Gagas Horse (6/1), Like An Open Book (16/1), Simon's Castle (16/1), Sinnerman (25/1), James Eclipse (50/1), Sabre Mist (66/1)

Verdict

MINELLA BEAU can retain his unbeaten record under rules by taking the concluding bumper. The selection was the impressive winner at Cork on his rules debut and can see off Gagas Horse who finished runner-up to the selection in that Cork bumper while the penalised Billy's Angel can take third having won at Ballinrobe on his most recent start.
  1. Minella Beau
  2. Gagas Horse
