Boston Spray^p1,t1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: J P O'Brien

9/4

Ballingarry (yiedling) maiden point-to-point winner at the third time of asking in that sphere earlier this month. Represents a leading stable here and wears cheekpieces for his rules debut.

Form: 2-31

Court Tycoon³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms K Walsh| T: Peter Fahey

11/4

Respectable effort when finishing fifth of 16 over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good) last month. Represents a yard with a 38% strike-rate of late (3/8) and respected in this.

Form: 5

Earthly Reason^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr S E O'Rourke⁽⁷⁾| T: Gerard Quirk

6/1

Had issues going to post and at the start prior to unseating early on hurdling debut at Killarney last month. Much better effort in a first time hood (retained) when beaten 2L in an 18 runner contest at Clonmel (good-to-yielding) subsequently and interesting in a bumper.

Form: U3

Frankiefiveangels³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade| BF

9/4

Finished runner-up in two Downpatrick (good) bumper races since finishing third over hurdles on debut at Navan (heavy) in April. Represents a leading yard here and one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 3-22

Mcgroarty²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P Power⁽⁷⁾| T: D A Kiely

14/1

Point-to-point winner at the eighth time of asking at Kinsale (yielding) earlier this month. Form suggests he'll struggle on rules debut today.

Form: 8264-21

Go Halainn³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fogarty

33/1

Jumped right-handed prior to pulling up at Dromahane (good) in a point-to-point last month. Market support would be noteworthy on her rules debut.

Form: P

Meandt²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

16/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing sixth in a Tramore bumper on good ground earlier this month. Likely to have come on for her first run in 11 months and worth a check in the market here.

Form: 6-6

Needie⁷⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: E P Harty

20/1

Held in two bumpers in May 2015 when with previous stable. Evidently had her issues and probably best watched on her debut for this yard and first run in over two years.

Form: 77/

Forecasts

Boston Spray (9/4), Frankiefiveangels (9/4), Court Tycoon (11/4), Earthly Reason (6/1), Eagle Ridge (10/1), Creadan Grae (12/1), Mcgroarty (14/1), Meandt (16/1), Allannahs Gold (16/1), Needie (20/1), Monsieur Bagot (25/1), Go Halainn (33/1), Garryricken Gamble (50/1)

The bumper COURT TYCOON contested on debut looks a decent enough event and he can register his first success at the second time of asking in this concluding event. The selection finished fifth on that occasion and is taken to get the better of Clonmel maiden hurdle second Earthly Reason who should appreciate the step up in trip while Frankiefiveangels and rules debutant Boston Spray are others to note.
