Colreevy⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 115| D

7/4

Winner at Fairyhouse on debut in December (heavy) and far from disgraced in graded contests at Leopardstown and Cheltenham Festival since, should be in contention here.

Form: F-137

Cordovan Brown⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire| T: Miss E Doyle| CD

8/1

Debut winner here (yielding to soft) in October and ran well to finish runner-up in a Listed mares bumper at Navan subsequently. Pulled up in hot Leopardstown contest in February and work to be done here.

Form: 12P

Dani Theatre⁹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Ms Mullins| D

25/1

Odds-on winner of a Thurles bumper on good to firm ground in October 2015, hasn't been spotted since. Market likely guide here but would be respected if retaining that level of ability.

Form: 31/

Hazy Shadow^t1⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr A Murphy| T: Mrs D A Love

66/1

Beneficial filly was well beaten behind some smart rivals in Leopardstown Grade in February (winner won Champion Bumper at Cheltenham). Needs a chunk of improvement to figure in the finish.

Form: 359

Holding Pattern^h,t¹⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D Roche| T: Mrs J Harrington| D

33/1

Comfortable winner of a Thurles bumper before finishing third in a much-stronger race at Down Royal. Held in Listed Cheltenham bumper in November and needs to improve in this company.

Form: 136

Masons Daughter⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms K Walsh| T: W P Mullins| D

6/1

Improved effort when 2½L second to Tintangle at Fairyhouse a week ago, looks the pick of the Mullins contingent in this line-up.

Form: 341632

Moskovite⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: D Hogan| D

33/1

Daughter of Flemensfirth out of a Montjeu mare related to Tidal Bay and Imperial Commander. Bit to find with some of these on last week's Fairyhouse form.

Form: 115

Owenacurra Lass⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D L Queally| T: D Queally

33/1

Surprising second to Colreevy at Fairyhouse in December having gone off 33/1 on first bumper start. Didn't build on that at Gowran Park since, both runs on heavy ground, and has something extra to find here.

Form: U6724

Sapphire Lady⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W J Gleeson| T: W P Mullins| D

25/1

Unfancied on season bow at Fairyhouse last week in Listed bumper and duly finished last of 11. Represents Team Mullins but has got a lot of catching up to do on that showing and previous form wouldn't cut it here.

Form: 130

Tens Or Better⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr C Fahy| T: P A Fahy

50/1

Fair filly on pedigree but no real threat in two starts so far, latest over 2m4f at Fairyhouse six days ago when struggling to make ground up from the rear.

Form: 65

The Princetonian⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Hare| T: Mrs J Harrington

50/1

Yet to win in six starts in bumpers, no match for subsequent Champion Bumper heroine Relegate at Leopardstown in February and has ground to make up with Colreevy on Fairyhouse form previously.

Form: 6-22056

Tintangle⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms N Carberry| T: G Elliott| D

11/4

Finished a fine fourth on debut at Leopardstown in February in a Grade 2 won by subsequent Champion Bumper winner Relegate and has recorded back-to-back successes since including impressive Listed win at Fairyhouse last week. Major contender.

Form: 411

Black Tears²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott| D

9/1

Cork winner in March and excellent second in valuable Fairyhouse contest on first of this month, just giving best at the line. Potential improver on better ground and respected challenger for Team Elliott.

Form: 212

Largy Glory¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss K Harrington| T: Mrs J Harrington

20/1

Winner of a bumper at Carlisle this month over 2m1f on soft going for previous handler, entitled to improve for that outing but will have to if hoping to double-up in this company.

Form: 1

Mary B⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: R Deegan| T: C Byrnes

14/1

One win from three starts so far but well held in third last week behind Tintangle in Listed Fairyhouse contest and left with a good bit to find here.

Form: 143

Non-Runners

T: W P Mullins J: Mr A McMahon

Forecasts

Colreevy (7/4), Tintangle (11/4), Masons Daughter (6/1), Cordovan Brown (8/1), Black Tears (9/1), Getoutameway (12/1), Mary B (14/1), Largy Glory (20/1), Dani Theatre (25/1), Sapphire Lady (25/1), Moskovite (33/1), Holding Pattern (33/1), Owenacurra Lass (33/1), Tens Or Better (50/1), The Princetonian (50/1), Hazy Shadow (66/1)

TINTANGLE looks the one be with here for Gordon Elliott. She has fair form behind Champion Bumper winner Relegate this season and looks to be improving with her racing. She scored nicely in Listed company at Fairyhouse just over a week ago and is primed to give her trainer a boost now. Masons Daughter chased her home in that race and looks sure to give her a race under Katie Walsh while Colreevy and the selection's stablemate Black Tears are also respected. Dani Theatre is one to note in the betting off a long absence as is once-raced winner Largy Glory on debut for Jessica Harrington.
