Batcio^h⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A McMahon⁽⁷⁾| T: T M Walsh

13/8

Best effort in five bumper starts came when second over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good) last time out. Vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Form: 165U-42

Deburrafield²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Corey McGivern⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

Showed very little promise in three point-to-point starts and on maiden hurdle debut last month, fourth of six in Downpatrick bumper since.

25/1

Beaten 15L when third of nine in bumper at Ballinrobe (2m1½f, good) on debut, represents top trainer and should have something more to offer.

Form: 3

Scotsman's Bay^t1³¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: A Fleming

7/1

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, also 1m2f winner on the Flat in France. Fell in novice hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) 10 months ago and off since, market will show more.

Form: F-

The Abbey⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: K Prendergast

7/1

Making significant improvement in bumpers until a heavy defeat at Punchestown in June. Market likely to be the best guide here but should be capable of having a say.

Form: 9/6-537

25/1

Henrythenavigator gelding. Half-brother to useful/ungenuine 1m2f/1m3f winner Nibbling. Booking of Jamie Codd on debut is a positive.

14/1

Half-brother to useful types All Together and Du Soleil. Will possibly come on for tricky and competitive debut here.

Forecasts

Batcio (13/8), Presenting Leah (15/8), Scotsman's Bay (7/1), The Abbey (7/1), Eclat Du Large (14/1), Miss Aloud (25/1), Baratheon (25/1), My Galway Girl (25/1), Rian Thomas (25/1), Deburrafield (33/1), Mustmeetkate (66/1), Paradise Theatre (66/1), Lorca's Novena (100/1), Bingo Bab (100/1)

PRESENTING LEAH found just one too strong in her sole point-to-point outing in May and is closely related to the excellent Bellshill, amongst other winners. She's entitled to strong claims on her first foray under rules and may take some holding. Another newcomer, Miss Aloud, also has plenty going for her on pedigree and has to be respected. The newcomers are the ones to watch seemingly and Jamie Codd's presence on Baratheon will do only good. Of those that have run Batcio and Rian Thomas can do better.
