Horse A-Z
Beaten 20L when making his debut in a bumper at Thurles before finishing fourth of five in a Clonmel contest last month. Chance to win a bumper may have passed.

25/1
Aristotle gelding whose dam is related to a few point-to-point winners. Has appeared to lack stamina in three bumpers before slight improvement on maiden hurdle debut last month. Looks up against it here.

3/1
Beaten favourite last time out in a Thurles bumper on debut finishing sixth of 10 beaten 21L. Sure to improve for the run for powerful connections.

Horse silk
13/8
Denham Red gelding out of a Dark Moondancer mare related to Un De Sceaux. Bought for €100,000 for powerful stable. Likely to be a warm order here.
Mahler gelding out of Tariana who cost €80,000 as a three-year-old. Well beaten on bumper debut at Navan last month. Market likely to be best guide.
Has failed to complete in two point-to-point starts and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

12/1
Alkaadhem gelding out of a Mister Lord mare related to game sorts A Hare Breath, The Organist and March winner Global Citizen. Well beaten 9L on bumper debut last month and looks up against it here.
Elusive Pimpernel gelding Vinnie Roe mare and looks well out of his depth here on bumper debut.

66/1
Tough ask here for Frozen Fire filly out of a Germany mare. Looks a long-term prospect and sure to come on for the room.

Forecasts

Vent D'Automne (13/8), Where Eagles Dare (2/1), The Big Lense (3/1), Dont Go Mad (12/1), Deal With It (16/1), Teddy's Acre (25/1), False Getaway (50/1), Sir Pimpernel (50/1), Janeyevan (66/1)

Verdict

The €100,000 purchase for Andrea and Graham Wylie VENT D'AUTOMNE can build on his debut second in a Fairyhouse point-to-point when last seen in April 2016, landing the closing race here for the Patrick and Willie Mullins combination. Where Eagles Dare and The Big Lense can give the selection the most to think about.
  1. Vent D'Automne
  2. Where Eagles Dare
  3. The Big Lense
