All Good Things

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: J Nash

33/1

Sire a once-raced brother to Dubai Millennium, while dam has produced a fairly useful 1m winner Cape Velvet. Yard 1-30 in bumpers in last five seasons, and opposable unless attracting market support.

Form:

Badano

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Burns

50/1

By a Group 3 winner in Brazil out of an unraced mare who has yet to produce a winner, and hard to get excited by his chances on debut.

Form:

Barneymac

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr L Bleahen⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

50/1

Whitmore's Conn half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Laser Light. Yard (1-6 in bumpers in recent times) not as prolific as was once the case, but worth a second look on debut given pedigree.

Form:

Ice Boat

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁷⁾| T: L P Cusack

14/1

By Verglas out of Rockfel Stakes winner Yawl from a very good flat family. Yard gets occasional bumper winner (1-9 since 2013), and not easily dismissed given he's related to a host of winners, for all this belated debut hints at training issues.

Form:

Lighthouse Warrier^t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Jonathan Sweeney

13/8

Easy winner of sole point start last spring, and shaped with plenty of promise in a C&D bumper two weeks ago on first start since, travelling best before being caught late on. Should benefit from that run, and obvious chance if this run doesn't come too soon.

Form: 1-2

On Raglan Road⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/4

By Walk In The Park out of a French jumps winner and represents top connections, so probably best to forgive debut run at Fairyhouse last month when seemingly too green to justify fairly short odds. Market likely to be a useful guide to chances now.

Form: 0-

Pershing Missile¹²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

7/1

Half-brother to useful bumper winner The Paparrazi Kid, and shaped well when third on debut at Limerick after Christmas. Below that level when last seen following month, but not harshly judged on that run, and likely to progress again after a break, for all he'll need to.

Form: 35-

Sparky Stowaway³²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽⁵⁾| T: T Mullins

6/1

Dam won a bumper, and he knew his job on debut over C&D last month, making the running before finishing a creditable fourth to Vocarium. That looked a decent contest, and he should be competitive granted normal improvement.

Form: 4-

Crafty Getaway

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R P Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: D Broad

50/1

Half-sister to bumper winner Moymore Lad and fair staying chaser EnroblimTrop from family of Champion Chaser Badsworth Boy. Yard 0-15 in this discipline in last five seasons, and others make more appeal on that basis.

Form:

Jacobite Rising²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: L Byrne

20/1

Rob Roy gelding out of an unraced mare. Finished 22 lengths last of five on his point debut earlier in the month, and needs to leave that form well behind to make any impact.

Form: 5

Moanbaun Maestro^h1⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr T G Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

33/1

Arakan half-brother to a sprint winner, and hasn't offered much encouragement on either start over hurdles so far. Hood reached for now.

Form: U9-

Harbenali

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss N Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

16/1

Milan filly out of a fair 2½m hurdle winner. Pedigree suggests she will stay well, and may be one for further down the line. Yard 1-25 in bumpers in recent years.

Form:

Other Voices⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Grassick

50/1

Vocalised filly out of an unraced mare, and beaten a long way when seventh of 12 in a C&D bumper recently.

Forecasts

Lighthouse Warrier (13/8), On Raglan Road (11/4), Sparky Stowaway (6/1), Pershing Missile (7/1), Ice Boat (14/1), Harbenali (16/1), Rock River Valley (16/1), Jacobite Rising (20/1), All Good Things (33/1), Moanbaun Maestro (33/1), Other Voices (50/1), Badano (50/1), Crafty Getaway (50/1), Barneymac (50/1)

On Raglan Road represents a powerful owner/trainer combination, and must be better than he could show at Fairyhouse, but it's much safer to stick with point winner LIGHTHOUSE WARRIER, who was collared late over C&D on his first start under rules recently, and looks a winner in waiting. Sparky Stowaway comes from a strong-looking race at last month's festival here, and should improve enough to take a hand in the finish.
