Has proved consistent in this sphere with his last run coming over C&D some while ago although he's not looked the most straightforward so far and could be vulnerable to one of the newcomers.
Didn't really improve from first to second run and looks the type who will need a little more time and a test of stamina.
From a yard with a good record in this sphere this Irish point-to-point winner suffered an odds-on defeat last time out failing to build on his promising Ffos Las debut. He can be forgiven that effort though (raced freely plus on unfavoured part of track) and would not surprise if he bounced back here.
Makes his debut and from a yard that are not noted for their runners in this sphere. Is a half-brother to the 2m3f-3m hurdle winner Easy Beesy.
From a yard that should always be respected he's been off a while now after a disappointing debut at Warwick where he was tailed off. Given time to get over whatever ailed him there and well worth keeping an eye on in the market.
Cost €4,000 as a three-year-old with the dam having some decent jumping relations. Yard have a modest strike-rate in bumpers but the breeding of this one suggests that he might out run his odds.
Has some smart jumps relations in the pedigree and from a yard that don't mind a tilt at the ring. Would be interesting if there was some money for him.
Cost £5,000 as a three-year-old but doesn't come from a yard that you readily associate with bumper winners. There are some jumps winners in the pedigree though.
Dam was a half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Sublimity but the trainer has a poor strike-rate in bumpers and this one is best watched for now.
Half-sister to five winners notably Blazing Bailey and it will be interesting to see she goes on her debut. One of two runners in the race for the yard.
Trainer not associated with bumper winners but the jockey booking takes the eye and the dam was a half-sister to useful hurdle/chase winner Tagrita.
First effort wasn't that encouraging when she was a tailed-off last of four at Wincanton. This is a far deeper contest and she will do well to improve on that run here.

Mulcahys Hill (11/10), Deshan (4/1), Woulduadamandeveit (8/1), By The Fireside (8/1), Cybalko (10/1), Young Phoenix (12/1), Jimmy Bell (12/1), The Stinging Bee (20/1), Wixford (20/1), Milk King (25/1), Celer Et Audax (33/1), Solstice Twilight (50/1), Well End Girl (50/1)
It never pays to ignore a Warren Greatrex runner in a bumper and it may well pay to give MULCAHYS HILL another chance here after he disappointed at Chepstow. The others with experience don’t look that exciting or have much improvement left in them and it could well be that the dangers to the likely market leader lie with the newcomers with Cybalko, Young Phoenix and Milk King all interesting at the prices.
