'Future Champions' Flat Race (Listed)

Off time: 15:31 | Winning time: 4m 23.6s

Felix Desjy⁴⁴

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

5/4

Unbeaten in two career bumpers winning over this distance on both occasions. Will be vying for favouritism with stablemate and worth a market check.

Form: 1-11

Rapid Escape²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott| D

15/8

Has won both bumpers this season the most recent last month winning at Punchestown for this jockey by 4L. Likely to be a warm order here.

Form: 15-11

Lady Ischia²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G P Cromwell| BF| D

4/1

Failed to build his win on seasonal bow at Naas when finishing 20L behind Crackerdancer last month. Should be noted with significant jockey booking.

Form: 2-15

One First Cut^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Miss E Doyle| D

12/1

Distance winner on bumper debut last December but has failed to build on that run including a disastrous maiden hurdle debut at Limerick earlier this month. Others make more appeal on return to bumpers.

Form: 184-U

Holycross Lito²²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr N McParlan| T: S McParlan| BF

14/1

Disappointing beaten favourite on rules debut when finishing third of 18 in a Tipperary bumper beaten 6½L. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 11211-3

Miss Echrad^t⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: P J Cawley| T: P J Rothwell

50/1

Unseated on hurdles debut and then beaten 23L into 7th at Tipperary at 100/1. Finished fourth of 16 on bumper debut but has not showed enough ability to suggest significant involvement.

Form: U74

Forecasts

Felix Desjy (5/4), Rapid Escape (15/8), Lady Ischia (4/1), One First Cut (12/1), Holycross Lito (14/1), Miss Echrad (50/1)

One First Cut looks to be the one to possibly make the running here in the early stages of this bumper which should go to either of the Gordon Elliott-trained runners Rapid Escape or classy Down Royal bumper winner FELIX DESJY. A market watch is advised on Lady Ischia who is better than her last start.
