7/1

British raider who stepped up on sole point-to-point effort when finishing 3L second in a bumper on good ground before disappointing at Stratford, beaten 33L last month. Tough ask.

50/1

Well beaten and down the field in three dismal bumper efforts in career including on return to the track last month at Wexford. First-time tongue tie unlikely to bring about improvement needed.

Scorpion gelding out of a Presenting mare. Yard eight from 96 for the season including bumper winner Brooks Falls, successful at Sligo in August. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Fourth of eight beaten 11L in a Tramore 2m bumper last month when sent off as favourite. No surprise to see improvement here and could prove to be a big danger.

The trainer/jockey combination of Willie and Patrick Mullins with Shanakey could emerge as the biggest danger to the Gordon Elliott-trained ACRONYM who looks an exciting prospect following her second of nine to Mount Pelier at Wexford last month. Warlike Intent won this contest 12-months ago for the trainer and the Flemensfirth gelding can follow up here for owners Gigginstown House Stud.
