Assemble²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Nothing of note in a couple of bumpers last season for Edward Hales. Market likely to be best guide if new yard have worked their magic.

Form: 23-

Diol Ker²⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: N Meade

12/1

Martaline gelding out of a Pistolet Bleu mare. Cost €75,000 as a three-year-old. Yard are seven from 35 with their current crop of bumpers and one to check in the betting here.

Form: 2F1-

Envoi Allen³⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

4/9

Muhtathir gelding out of a Saint Des Saints mare. Cost £400,000 earlier this year after a point-to-point victory, travelling all over his rivals on debut.

Form: 1-

Felicity's Choice

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J A O'Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: J Dullea

100/1

A €15,000 three-year-old, Mahler gelding. Unlikely to get involved in the finish on debut and others readily preferred.

Form:

Jason The Militant

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

33/1

Sans Frontieres gelding out of a Desert King mare. Yard without a winner in seven bumper starts this term and hard to make a case for this youngster.

Form:

Le Rueski

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry

100/1

September Storm gelding out of a Desert Prince mare. Yard without a winner all season and best avoided on debut.

Form:

Port Stanley³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington

12/1

Papal Bull gelding out of a Monsun mare. Cost £65,000 earlier this year and produced a promising run on debut when third of 14 in a Galway bumper in October. Place claims.

Form: P13

Rainbow King²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr A Sinnott⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Barrett

100/1

Gelding by Gold Well out of a Turtle Island mare. Cost €10,000 as a three-year-old. Well held on poor point-to-point debut in April and looks a long-term prospect.

Form: 5

Soldier At War^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

8/1

Picked up by Gigginstown for £140,000 after finishing runner-up on point-to-point debut in March before a promising bumper debut at Punchestown behind Chead Solas last month. More to come.

Form: 2-2

Stones And Roses

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

6/1

Shantou gelding out of an Anshan mare. Yard have a 34% strike rate with their bumpers this season and there is no reason why the youngster cannot add to the total here.

Form:

The Blame Game

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Gunn

33/1

Getaway gelding out of a Namaqualand mare. Inexpensive purchase for connections and unlikely to trouble the judge here on debut.

Form:

Blue Heather

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Corey McGivern⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

50/1

Doyen filly out of a Executive Park mare. Yard without a bumper winner in eight starts this term and the debutante looks opposable here.

Form:

Don't Bet On It

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr K M Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Smith

100/1

Filly by Court Cave out of a Hushtag mare. Low-cost purchase for connections of €2,500 as a three-year-old. Watching brief on debut.

Form:

Fur Elise^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr S Cavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

100/1

Daughter of Stowaway out of an Anshan mare. One pace seventh of 14 beaten 18L on Galway debut in October. Hard to place any faith in.

Form: 7

One of the most expensive purchases of the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham sales over the winter, ENVOI ALLEN, knocked down at £400,000 to Tom Malone makes his eagerly anticipated debut for trainer Gordon Elliott. The Muhtathir gelding can land the closer under jockey Jamie Codd seeing off the attentions of stablemate, Soldier At War and the Willie Mullins debutante Stones And Roses.
