Brahma Bull¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

1/1

Unbeaten so far and looks a prime candidate to go on to better things. Trainer a past master with this type of individual and it'll take a good one to peg him back despite the burden of a dual penalty. Yard has won 3 of the last 4 renewals.

Form: 11

James Eclipse¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cummins

6/1

Making steady progress; got off the mark at the fourth tine of asking, so at least arrives here with a confidence boosting win behind him. Likes to make the running, so possible he will be vulnerable under the penalty.

Form: 4521

Mountain Ranger³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean P Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: S Byrne

25/1

Won a weak race at Kilbeggan in August, which was actually a big improvement on his first two starts. Respected but a lot more to do in this stiffer looking race.

Form: 0-731

Peacocks Secret²³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms N Carberry| T: E Mullins

9/2

Bounded away from what looked to be a moderate bunch of rivals at Kilbeggan earlier in the month; so at least knows what it takes to win a race. However, so do his three main rivals and he has a bit more to find in a hotter event.

Form: P3-3251

Dasmyhoss⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: R P McNamara| D

3/1

Cost connections €32,000 as a three-year-old and paid back some of the investment with a comfortable win at Tramore in August. Juice in the ground that day, so today's conditions ideal. Also benefits from an age concession, so has to be a player.

Form: 37-1

Forecasts

Brahma Bull (1/1), Dasmyhoss (3/1), Peacocks Secret (9/2), James Eclipse (6/1), Analytical Mindset (7/1), Mountain Ranger (25/1)

Very feasible that Willie Mullins (won three of the last four renewals of this race) can take yet another Bumper with the highly progressive BRAHMA BALL, who has answered every question asked so far and could have plenty more to offer despite having to give weight away all round. With only Analytical Mindest yet to win a race, the competition for the forecast slot looks a lot tougher. Dasmyhoss scored comfortably last time out and, as the four-year-old has a pull at the weights, he edges a slender nomination ahead of Peacocks Secret, who effectively takes a step up in grade and has more to do this time around.
