Poor form in two career bumpers each coming 12-months apart. Plenty to prove in this contest.

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

8/13

Kapgarde gelding out of a Le Glorieux. Cost €66,000 as a three-year-old and likely to be a warm order on debut for leading trainer/jockey combination.

10/1

Gold Well gelding out of a Heron Island mare. Cost €33,000 as a three-year-old by Barry Connell. Didn't show too much when sixth on debut at Down Royal before another heavy defeat at Leopardstown when last seen in December.

Form: 68-

Clouncerna

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Barry

25/1

Presenting gelding out of a Buckskin mare. Half-brother to plenty of national hunt winners including Ballabriggs, War Of Attrition and Denman. Looks a long-term prospect.

50/1

Related to sturdy types The Game Changer and Flying Angel, could finish only 16th of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel over 2m on recent bow, having gone off 100/1 chance. May be a longer-term project.

Form: 0

Capture The Action⁷⁴

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

25/1

Modest ability in two point-to-points before a heavy defeat on debut in a Tipperary bumper in May and represents a yard with a 2-38 record in bumpers since 2014. Others have more appeal.

Form: 7

Condarcia⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| BF

12/1

Well held in a couple of bumpers before going off the 7/2f in a Clonmel bumper over 2m½f in June when beaten 38L finishing ninth of 17 on good ground. Worth a market check.

Form: 3-59

Eloping^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J Codd| T: Mrs P Dobbs

9/2

Appears to be improving following a couple of bumper spins at Wexford and here last month when showing plenty of promise. Chances with notable jockey booking.

Form: 43

Kilbeg Bernie¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: T Cummins

33/1

Curtain Time mare who finished seventh of eight beaten 29L in a Limerick bumper over 2m on debut last month. More needed here.

50/1

Daughter of Millenary out of a Gildoran mare. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Springfield Scally. Watching brief on debut.

Form:

Old Head^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

14/1

Nothing of note in two disappointing maiden hurdle starts recently. Will possibly be priced up on her fine run in a Sligo bumper recently but hurdling needs to improve.

Form: 7-17004

She'stherightone⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Cullen

25/1

Son of Scorpion out of a Presenting mare. Sixth foal, dam unraced half-sister to bumper/2m6f and 3m hurdle winner Valentines Lady. Never on terms and well held on debut in a Punchestown bumper in June. Looks up against it here.

Form: 8

Stacey Sue¹¹³

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

14/1

Won her point-to-point in April by 6L. Interesting daughter of Robin Des Champs and likely to need the run here on debut.

BUCK'S BILLIONAIRE was a €66,000 as a three-year-old and is likely to go off a warm order here for trainer and jockey combination of Willie Mullins and his son Patrick. The five-year-old is half-brother to the brilliant Big Buck's and is expected to see off the attentions of Concardia from the Jessica Harrington yard and Eloping the mount of Jamie Codd.
