Getareason³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

5/6

Beaten favourite last time out in a weak Punchestown bumper in April. Will need to get back to the form of his win at Downpatrick in March but the one to beat for powerful trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 2/13-

Macgiloney²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

7/1

Won a bumper at Kilbeggan in April between two solid maiden hurdle spins finishing third on both occasions. Plenty of scope for improvement and each way claims here.

Form: 3/443-13

On His Toes¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: J R Barry

33/1

Disappointed on return to the track when finishing seventh of 10 beaten 49L in a Limerick bumper last month. Improvement needed here.

Form: 0/551-7

Bobsfirth³³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: Miss H McLoughlin

66/1

Fancied for his debut in a point-to-point in April but following a mistake-strewn effort was eventually pulled up before finishing last of 12 beaten 117L in a Wexford bumper when last seen in July.

Form: P/0-

Dancing In The Sky¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T D Hyde⁽⁷⁾| T: T E Hyde

14/1

Disappointed connections in two maiden hurdle spins last year before dropping in to a Wexford bumper last month when finishing fourth of 13. Sure to learn from that experience and place claims in this.

Form: 00-4

Makka Pakka¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr S Cavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: W Harney

50/1

Nothing in a February point-to-point and on bumper debut last month finishing ninth of 14 beaten 17L. Has plenty to prove in this contest.

Form: P-9

Occupied^h1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Grady

50/1

Coming here off the back of two dismal point-to-point starts and First-time hood is unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement to play a role here.

Form: 23F-P

Willing³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: J G Murphy

6/1

Milan gelding, cost €31,000 in 2013. Closely related to the useful Chatterbox, placed in Listed company. Beaten 11½L on debut at Punchestown last month. Steps up in trip.

Form: 6-

The Red Menace²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: N Meade

3/1

Son of Mountain High out of a point-to-point winning mare not unbacked when winning on debut in a Sligo bumper last month and sure to improve on that start here.

Form: 1

No Holdenback¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

66/1

Beaten out of sight in three maiden hurdle starts to date and difficult to make a case for here.

Form: 60-0

Old Head^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

33/1

Modest form in two point-to-point starts since the turn of the year before a dour bumper appearance at Cork in April and a point-to-point win last month. Plenty to prove in this company.

Form: 4F7-1

Forecasts

Getareason (5/6), The Red Menace (3/1), Willing (6/1), Macgiloney (7/1), Dancing In The Sky (14/1), On His Toes (33/1), Old Head (33/1), Occupied (50/1), Makka Pakka (50/1), Bobsfirth (66/1), No Holdenback (66/1)

Could turn in to an intriguing match here with the Willie Mullins-trained and Sullivan Bloodstock-owned Getareason looking to get back to winning ways here up against the potential of 12L winner on debut THE RED MENACE who is sure to improve for his career bow at Sligo last month. The Denis Hogan-trained Macgiloney looks a well bred sort and is worthy of place considerations along with Dancing In The Sky.
