Clounts Pride^h1¹²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: R Tyner

11/4

Milan gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler Clounts Meadows and half-brother to winning pointer by Turtle Island. Wears hood, 1-1 in point-to-points. Can go well.

Form: 1

Costalotmore¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J Scallan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Jordan

5/1

Landed a pair of point wins in recent months and entitled to have eyes on this prize on rules/stable bow with those efforts in mind.

Form: F511

Galavantin⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M C O'Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hurley

25/1

Oscar gelding, well held in sole point-to-point start last year, others make more appeal in this rules bow.

Form: F4

Jack Hackett³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Love

7/1

Well-held in a Gowran Park bumper last month on soft ground but has won a point-to-point since and may have more to offer with trip to suit.

Form: 281

Notice To Close⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Connor| T: S Neville

9/2

Well held in Fairyhouse bumper a year ago but arrives on the back of a hat-trick of wins in point-to-point sphere and may put up a stronger showing here.

Form: 0-FP1

Stormy Watar¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry

66/1

Maiden in points, failing to complete in three of last five starts in that sphere, not an obvious improved now tackling a bumper.

Form: F54PP

The Secret One^t1⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Darragh Allen⁽⁷⁾| T: D Duggan

50/1

Maiden hurdle/bumper efforts last winter nothing to write home about, and no marked improvement since in point-to-points. Headgear is tried now.

Form: 5/PP07-P

Miss Pernickety^p1⁴⁴

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

15/8

No match for Minella Melody on bumper debut at Gowran Park but beat the rest home and winner was only beaten by one in Aintree Grade 2 since. Strong claims with improvement likely and first-time cheekpieces on.

Form: 32

Forecasts

Miss Pernickety (15/8), Clounts Pride (11/4), Groody Rover (4/1), Notice To Close (9/2), Costalotmore (5/1), Jack Hackett (7/1), Banner Rebel (8/1), Dream On John (10/1), Galavantin (25/1), The Secret One (50/1), Stormy Watar (66/1)

She had to settle for second on debut at Gowran Park but, with the winner having since narrowly missed out on an Aintree Grade 2 prize, this looks a great chance for MISS PERNICKETY to go one better. Joseph O'Brien's charge is a likely improver here, and should be hard to topple. Costalotmore and Groody Rover rank highest on the list of dangers ahead of Clounts Pride.
