16/1

Slipped up latest but has appeared to be susceptible to a couple more stronger opponents in three career starts to date.

Form: P/0-5S

Court Maid²¹

9/2

Got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for connections when landing a bumper over a similar trip at the Galway festival earlier in the month. Likable type and should be in the mix.

Form: 337-21

Kilbarry Way³⁸

4/1

C&D winner of a bumper here last month beating five rivals winning by a neck from Good Scent staying on strongly in the final furlong. The runner-up then proceeded to finish second of 20 in a Galway festival bumper recently.

Goldwin Magic

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: D A Kiely

25/1

Unraced son of Full Of Gold out of a Equerry mare. Closely related to the Willie Mullins-trained and Galway festival fourth Lareena. Watching brief on debut.

King Kingston²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

40/1

Son of Yeats and a half-brother to a three time winning hurdler. Will need to improve on disappointing debut at the Galway festival last month.

Form: 9

Yukon Lil¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| CD

3/10

Daughter of Flemensfirth bought for €65,000 last year. C&D winner of a bumper in May beating eight rivals 11L landing the spoils in facile fashion. Sets the standard here.

Form: 3-1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr C J Shine⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Finn

66/1

Newcomer by Dubai Destination out of a Good Thyne mare. Looks a long-term prospect and best watched on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Yukon Lil (3/10), Kilbarry Way (4/1), Court Maid (9/2), James Eclipse (14/1), Bobsfirth (16/1), Goldwin Magic (25/1), King Kingston (40/1), Twopiecesofsilver (66/1)

The manner of YUKON LIL's third at Fairyhouse on debut before an effortless win over C&D in May makes it hard to consider any other option in this weak looking bumper. Galway festival winner, Court Maid and C&D winner Kilbarry Way appear to be the best of a feeble looking bunch.
