Bennaway⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss K Harrington⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

10/1

Nicely bred but hasn't shown much in two maiden hurdle starts before a 9L defeat when second of four on first bumper appearance at Navan in January. Well beaten 33L once more last time out. Tough ask.

Form: 7723

Bensachuine³³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

25/1

Was twice runner-up in bumper last summer at Kilbeggan over 2m, struggled over hurdles at Cork before finishing third of 11 beaten just over 6L at Wexford when last seen in May. Mark likely to be informative.

Form: 2062-53

Castle North⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

3/1

Point-to-point faller on sole start back in 2016 before second of four runners on return to the track in a Punchestown bumper in February. Worth a market check for powerful trainer/jockey combo.

Form: F-2

Dinons¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| BF

10/3

Beaten into second by a nice prospect in Red Jack on debut at Fairyhouse in April last year before finishing a disappointing ninth of 15 beaten 48L on return to the track in December. Clearly issues in training and market possibly best guide.

Form: 2-9

Dream Conti

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms N Carberry| T: N Meade

2/1

Son of Lauro out of a Video Rock mare related to a modest selection of progeny and market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| BF

20/1

Won his point-to-point as he liked last March winning by 20L. Before not living up to expectation when well beaten 96L finishing fifth of six as beaten favourite in a bumper here in January. Needs a market check.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss R A Traynor⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

66/1

Frozen Fire gelding out of a Rossini mare. Stable without a bumper winner in 15 starts this season and others possibly preferred.

28/1

T: A Lynch J: Mr C J Orr

Forecasts

Dream Conti (2/1), Castle North (3/1), Dinons (10/3), Bennaway (10/1), Under Surveillance (14/1), Trappist Monk (16/1), Megalomaniac (16/1), Fullasthesea (20/1), Shavalack (22/1), Bensachuine (25/1), Gone Dancin (28/1), Gone Galavanting (33/1), Klassy Kay (40/1), Basil's Boy (66/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained CASTLE NORTH wont have to improve much to land a blow here in the closing event. Second of four last time out in a Punchestown bumper the Stowaway gelding can gallop away in the closing stages under Patrick Mullins from Gordon Elliott's Dinons and the Noel Meade-trained newcomer Dream Conti.
