Cooldine Bog⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss C V Annan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

20/1

Placed twice in point-to-point company in the autumn but finished well beaten over hurdles at Punchestown on his rules debut before heavy defeats in January and March with other making more appeal.

Form: 33P007-

Cusp Of Carabelli¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss E McCutcheon⁽⁷⁾| T: D M O'Brien

20/1

Failure to finish in four of his five point-to-point starts makes this Elusive Pimpernel gelding impossible to fancy in this contest.

Form: P/4BU-P

Dumhach Thra¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Jodie Townend⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

1/1

Slight promise when finishing fourth of 10 beaten 43L in a Punchestown bumper when last seen in December. Plenty to like about the son of Milan here with competent claimer in the plate.

Form: 4-

Middle Field⁴²

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

66/1

Nothing of any note on first two point-to-point starts before being tailed off beaten 142L and 108L in subsequent bumpers in April. Hard to construct much of a case here.

Form: P568-

Mr Stubbs^p1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms A Budds⁽⁷⁾| T: D Budds

33/1

First-time cheekpieces unlikely to bring the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here following a 50L defeat last month at Killarney.

Form: 3444-36

Murder Mile⁶¹

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

66/1

Cheap purchase who has shown little so far under rules including being pulled up in a Cork bumper in April. Others preferred.

Form: 5P8/PP-

Shetland Bus^t1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Rochelle Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

5/1

Possibly a little fortunate to win his point-to-point start last month when left at the final obstacle but can still make his presence felt here on stable debut.

Form: F3-1

Steelers Appeal²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: T Shanahan

7/1

Failed to complete the course in three point-to-point starts the most recent being last month when handing the race to Shetland Bus with a fall at the last.

Form: PF-F

Whiskeys Brother²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

16/1

Has failed to finish in two point-to-point starts including when unseating when every chance two out last month. Worth a market check.

Form: P-U

Hammerstein⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L O'Neill⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott

4/1

Dansili gelding out of a Galileo mare related to Celestial Halo and Stayers hurdle runner-up Supasundae. Nothing to note in two desolate displays so far but must be of interest from top bumper duo.

Form: 48-

Forecasts

Dumhach Thra (1/1), Hammerstein (4/1), Shetland Bus (5/1), Steelers Appeal (7/1), Game Risk (10/1), Eos (14/1), Whiskeys Brother (16/1), Cooldine Bog (20/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (20/1), Presentingprincess (20/1), Mr Stubbs (33/1), Middle Field (66/1), Murder Mile (66/1)

SHETLAND BUS was still travelling well when handed the race by the final fence fall of Steelers Appeal and can take the closer under the talented Katie Harrington for trainer Paul Nolan. The Gordon Elliott-trained Hammerstein and the fourth on debut Dumhach Thra are worthy of consideration in the finale'.
