Scorpion gelding out of a Tirol mare related to the likes of Might Bite and Don't Touch It. Nothing of note yet in two bumpers but not discounted.

33/1
Pushed along approaching the straight no extra when under pressure eventually finishing sixth of 10 on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper won by Sometime Soon. Looks opposable.
3
Horse silk
3/1
Pulled-up in two point-to-point efforts before a 29L defeat fifth of 15 at Fairyhouse in December on bumper debut. Improved effort last time out at Thurles and looks to be progressing well.
4
Horse silk
66/1
Nothing of any note on first two point-to-point starts before being tailed off beaten 142L on debut in a Cork bumper earlier this month. Hard to construct much of a case here.
Flemensfirth gelding out of a Saddlers' Hall mare related to the likes of Waiting Patiently and Joe Lively. Still to show any ability, well beaten in both bumper appearances in the last month.

8/1
Weakened quickly when something amiss and pulled up on debut in a Wexford bumper last month as beaten favourite. Interesting runner but doesn't look the yards number one.
Beat Hollow gelding out of a Orpen mare related to the likes of Wicklow Brave, Cinders And Ashes and Battle Group. Likely to be popular in the betting on debut.
Sea The Stars gelding out of a Indian Ridge mare related to Starchitect, Stars Over The Sea and Indian Jockey who won 19 races for master trainer Martin Pipe in the 90's. Best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Southern Nights (9/10), Extrapolate (3/1), Alpine Cobra (6/1), Small Farm (8/1), Our Marvmichael (12/1), Wild At Sea (25/1), Criq Sun (33/1), Middle Field (66/1)

Verdict

The experience and general progression of EXTRAPOLATE is taken to overcome the attentions of interesting newcomer and Willie Mullins-trained Southern Nights who appears to have been given the thumbs up from jockey-Patrick Mullins in the closing contest here. Small Farm the other Mullins contender is worth a check in the market under Katie Walsh.
  1. Extrapolate
  2. Southern Nights
  3. Small Farm
