20/1

Five-year old son of Gamut ran really well on debut at Navan when collared late on by Sally Park., before a 6½L defeat in Thurles bumper last month. Shouldn't be underestimated.

66/1

Ineffective in five bumpers so far in his career including 24L defeat over 2m on heavy ground last month before another heavy defeat last time out. Tough ask and others preferred.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J J Codd| T: W F Codd

16/1

A €26,000 3yo Arcadio gelding, he made an encouraging start when runner-up in a point-to-point at Loughanmore before an eight of 23 on debut in April. Worth a market check.

Form: 28-

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: N McKnight

By Yeats out of a Insan mare. Sire has a solid 30% strike rate with his bumper progeny but disappointed on debut when a well beaten 34L.

Forecasts

Rapid Escape (11/10), First Approach (7/4), Not Many Left (7/1), Perito Moreno (10/1), Kelp Forest (16/1), Clever As A Fox (20/1), Peace Party (20/1), Dunvegan (25/1), Camaro (50/1), Sister Cyclone (66/1), Naming Rights (66/1), Dennehys Pride (66/1), Alfred Eile (66/1)

Could turn in to a match between the two main protagonists in this Pro/Am contest. Patrick Mullins takes the ride on Rapid Escape who was successful for the same connections here yesterday winning on Felix Desjy, but he could find hefty opposition from Robin Des Champs gelding FIRST APPROACH under Nina Carberry. Kelp Forest could pip Not Many Left for the minors.
