Crackerdancer^t²³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien| T: R Hackett| CD

9/2

Solid and consistent winning over C&D in an April bumper. By Robin Des Champs related to the likes of Vautour and Quevega. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form: 4/211-

Champayne Lady^t¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: A Fleming| D

33/1

Promising debut when third to Aspen Colorado in a Leopardstown bumper in January 2016, and too much to do when staying on into mid-field there in December before winning a Kilbeggan bumper in May. Has previously won following a break.

Form: 3/86-1

Lady Ischia¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: G P Cromwell| D

11/10

Half-sister to three winners and showed plenty of promise when a runner-up behind Vocarium on her debut at Punchestown. Won a Naas bumper impressively earlier this month and likely to be a warm order here.

Form: 2-1

Redhotfillypeppers²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: W P Mullins| BF

10/1

Failed on a trip to Sandown in March before disappointing again in a Navan bumper in April. Will need to improve to figure.

Form: 1164-

Biddy The Boss²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Ms K Walsh| T: G P Cromwell| BF| D

14/1

Winner in a Fairyhouse bumper over 2m last month beating 10 rivals by ½L before finishing second of eight beaten 2¼L in a Cork bumper earlier this month. Will need to step up again.

Form: 2-12

Cordovan Brown³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Miss E Doyle| D

12/1

Looked a game sort when winning on debut in a Punchestown bumper over 2m on yielding to soft ground last month. Worth a market check.

Form: 1

Getoutameway²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr A McMahon| T: J W Nicholson| D

18/1

Distance winner landing a Cork bumper earlier this month when beating seven rivals on soft ground. Solid and consistent and one for the shortlist.

Form: 3-4621

Moonlight Escape²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Ms N Carberry| T: G Elliott| D

6/1

Placed twice before getting off the mark at Galway last time. Powerful stable always to be feared at this meeting and the market will be a fair guide to her chances.

Form: 321

Best Of Dubai¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

25/1

Has made a solid start to her racing career, keeping on in NH Flat events at Down Royal and Wexford to place both times before finishing third of 13 in a Naas bumper earlier this month. Worth a market check given trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 323

My Peggy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr L J McGuinness| T: N G Hynds

50/1

By Yeats out of a Glacial Storm mare related to Holly Bush Henry, Thomas Campbell and Compadre a winner at Huntingdon yesterday. Tough ask on debut.

Form:

Nicandra^h,t1¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Mrs J Harrington

40/1

Big Bad Bob filly close relative of Gold Cup winner Bobs Worth. Beaten 26L on debut in a Cork maiden hurdle in August. Needs to improve in first-time tongue-tie to play a role here.

Form: 8

Quri⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: T O'Brien

14/1

Pedigree boasts being by Gold Well out of a Commache Run mare. Related to national hunt winners Holywell and Johns Spirit. Promising second of seven beaten 2L at Listowel on debut in September buts need to step up on that run.

Form: 2

The Princetonian¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss K Harrington| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Thrown in at the deep end and not disgraced in Grade 3 on debut at Punchestown this spring, then went close last time when runner-up at Killarney before another runner-up position in May in a Ballinrobe bumper. Worth a market check.

Form: 6-22

Forecasts

Lady Ischia (11/10), Crackerdancer (9/2), Moonlight Escape (6/1), Redhotfillypeppers (10/1), Cordovan Brown (12/1), Biddy The Boss (14/1), Quri (14/1), Getoutameway (18/1), The Princetonian (20/1), Best Of Dubai (25/1), Champayne Lady (33/1), Nicandra (40/1), My Peggy (50/1)

Plenty of experience in this contest and the C&D winner CRACKERDANCER could possibly be vying for the lead with last time out winner Getoutameway in the early stages. The returning mare comes here on a hat-trick and could show her well-being by landing this prize. Lady Ischia last time out winner at Naas and recent Galway victor Cordovan Brown could hit the frame.
