Buck A Trend^t1¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: J Dullea

12/1

Two solid efforts out of three since the turn of the year including finishing second of 13 beaten 7½L and can hit the frame in first time tongue tie.

Form: U0372

Cairnhill²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr S F O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

16/1

Gelding by Doyen out of a Shernazar mare and related to Kumbeshwar and multiple winner Valdez. Well beaten in two bumper efforts and needs to improve to figure.

Form: 54

Denwork^t⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: E T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

7/2

Network gelding out of a April Night mare beaten over 43L in a Dawstown point-to-point before a promising third of 17 on stable debut in a Thurles maiden hurdle in February. One for the shortlist.

Form: 63

Impatient Partner³⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

5/1

Eye-catching in two point-to-point performances but may need the run following a year off. Comes from the right stable and worth a market check on bumper debut.

Form: 23-

Middle Field⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss J Young⁽⁷⁾| T: L Young

100/1

Pulled up and a 22L defeat in two point-to-point starts since the turn of the year. Very little to be positive about on rules debut.

Form: P5

Murder Mile⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath

100/1

Cheap purchase who has shown little so far under rules and was pulled up in a January point-to-point when last seen.

Form: 5P8-P

Our Marvmichael¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Mulvihill⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

33/1

Flemensfirth gelding out of a Saddlers' Hall mare related to the likes of Waiting Patiently and Joe Lively. Tailed off on debut in a Limerick bumper last month. Vast improvement needed to figure.

Form: 5

Ring The Moon

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P D Collins⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Collins

25/1

Gelding by Spanish Moon out of a Linamix mare related to Laurina - winner at the Cheltenham festival - and money spinning French hurdler Danse Avec Jersey. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

Form:

Stay Humble³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/6

Beat Hollow gelding half-brother to French hurdle/chase winner up to 2m3f Une Lapin Rouge. Won sole point-to-point in April but suffered a surprise defeat on soft ground on rules debut at Fairyhouse in February. Will be better here for that run.

Form: 1-4

Sullane Hill⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J W Hannon⁽⁷⁾| T: P C O'Connor

25/1

Witness Box gelding who beat an odds-on rival on his only point-to-point start at Boulta before finishing fourth of nine in a bumper here in January. Looks a long term prospect.

Form: 14

Lily Of Leysbourne³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Mangan

25/1

Had shown relatively little in two maiden hurdle starts before two bumper defeats the latest coming in February. May find it another struggle here.

Form: 8-765

Forecasts

Stay Humble (4/6), Denwork (7/2), Impatient Partner (5/1), Buck A Trend (12/1), Cairnhill (16/1), Lily Of Leysbourne (25/1), Sullane Hill (25/1), Ring The Moon (25/1), Our Marvmichael (33/1), Middle Field (100/1), Murder Mile (100/1)

STAY HUMBLE will no doubt come on for his shock defeat - at odds of 4/6 - in February at Fairyhouse and can take this contest for powerful owner/trainer/jockey combination appreciating the step up in trip attempting to make all in the closing race. Gigginstown representative Denwork and the Noel Meade-trained Impatient Partner are two to note as future prospects.
