Forty One Winks¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Liam Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins

3/1

Getaway gelding who cost €32,000 as a foal. From the family of Glens Melody and Glens Harmony. Well held in two dismal displays to date and must show improvement soon.

Form: 07-

Greenandwhitearmy²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: N McKnight

40/1

Craigsteel gelding out of an Oscar mare related to Big Zeb, Oscar Whisky and Wholestone. Nothing of note in two bumper starts so far and easily opposed here.

Form: 9-0

Kerry Dawn^t1

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

11/1

Stowaway gelding out of a Danehill Dancer mare related to talented types Hidden Cyclone, Champagne Fever and recent Towcester winner No Hiding Place. Market likely to reveal expectations. Wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Form:

Knock On Steel¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: B Jordan

25/1

Arakan gelding out of a Craigsteel mare has failed to finish in two point-to-point starts this year and was beaten 36L on rules debut in a Limerick bumper. Others preferred.

Form: 5

Mid Day Gun

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

4/5

€60,000 purchase by Robin Des Champs out of a Bob Back gelding. Likely to be a warm order for powerful trainer/jockey combination.

Form:

Russian Soldier¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

6/1

Kaieteur horse (entire) out of a Flemensfirth mare. Not much to go on in terms of pedigree and ran green on debut in a Navan bumper in March before a promising third of 10 at Limerick last month. Place claims in this company.

Form: 7-3

Cinq Frank

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B T Treanor⁽⁷⁾| T: D Kinsella

25/1

€20,000 purchase Alexandros gelding out of a Kaldoun mare. Progeny mainly found on the Flat and possibly looks a long-term project.

Form:

Gotthenod

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr S Cavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

12/1

By Famous Name out of a Hubbly Bubbly mare. Yard don't usually have bumpers runners and possibly best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Mid Day Gun (4/5), Forty One Winks (3/1), Russian Soldier (6/1), Kerry Dawn (11/1), Gotthenod (12/1), Knock On Steel (25/1), Cinq Frank (25/1), Greenandwhitearmy (40/1)

In a terribly weak looking affair trainer Willie Mullins looks to have found a nice opening for €60,000 investment MID DAY GUN to start his national hunt career with a win in this company where the opposition doesn't jump off the page but could find Russian Soldier and Forty One Winks hitting the frame.
