Couple of decent efforts in bumpers at Limerick and Punchestown last year, both over 2m. Last seen over hurdles in January and has a bit to find on return.
A gelding out of Passing Glance, makes racecourse debut here for small yard and market may determine chances.
Has had four chances already in this sphere, showed best form to date over 2m4f at this track last month on good ground when beaten 7L. Drop in trip not an obvious plus.
Beaten 3¼L when fourth of seven over C&D earlier in the month, has knocked on the door a couple of times in these contests and has the able services of Codd again for this.
Passing Glance gelding comes to the track for the first time, yard aren't noted for bumper winners.
Half-brother to useful bumper winner The Paparrazi Kid, good second at Punchestown late last month (2m, good) on return from a break. Should be in the firing line for this.
Mare out of Oscar, she's related to a couple of 2m hurdle winners but essentially walked home on debut at Cork (2m, good) last month and makes no appeal this time.
Well beaten when finishing down the field at Killarney (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m½f, yielding to soft) already. Likely to be of more interest further down the line.
First start under rules, not shown anything in point-to-point sphere to merit a suggestion this will be a winning start.
Showed a glimmer of ability on her debut at Naas last November (in a race won by Champion Bumper winner Fayonagh) but not replicated that in two runs since over hurdles, and hard to be confident switched back to a bumper.
Filly showed plenty promise in pair of bumpers last summer at Tipperary (2m, good_ and Kilbeggan (2m4f, good). She's been off for 341 days however, which cools enthusiasm but merits a market check.
Beaten just 4½L on debut at Tramore this month over this trip on decent ground when fourth of 12, any improvement will thrust her in the picture.
Six-race maiden in point-to-points, doesn't make great appeal for this racecourse debut.
Alkaadhem filly makes debut here representing small team with record of 1/3 in bumpers over the previous 12 months.

Forecasts
Allardyce (2/1), Pershing Missile (3/1), Nemean Lion (7/2), Chateauneuf Du Pap (10/1), Ri An Rian (11/1), Pass Hymn (16/1), Ballybrowney Jack (16/1), Railroad Junkie (16/1), Mother's Best (20/1), Evie Rose (20/1), Bartizan (33/1), Wan Cool Dude (33/1), Askance (40/1), Coolroe Cross (50/1), The Paddy Pie (50/1), Feather Your Nest (50/1), Annie Mae's Vision (66/1)
Nemean Lion ran well here last time and wouldn't have to improve greatly to stand a strong chance of winning this but the return of PERSHING MISSILE at Punchestown when second behind a tidy winner earns him the nod. That was off a layoff and there may well be more to come now from the Meade runner. Chateauneuf Du Pap and Ri An Rian are capable of getting involved when it matters while any market support for the returning Mother's Best would be worth noting as she went well in two of these last summer.
- Pershing Missile
- Nemean Lion
- Chateauneuf Du Pap
