€22,000 3-y-o out of a point winner. Yard 6-49 in bumpers in last five seasons. Bred to need a stiffer test, although yard has won this twice in the past four years, so any support should be heeded.
€38,000 3-y-o out of an unraced half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Native River. In good hands, although yard's bumper runners usually brought on gradually.
€9,500 3-y-o out of a maiden hurdler/chaser in France. Yard not associated with success in this sphere in recent times.
€78,000 3-y-o half-brother to trainer's smart chaser Baily Cloud and bumper winner Capilla. Makes plenty of appeal on paper, for all yard's strike rate in bumpers is modest in the last few seasons.
Second foal of an unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Meath All Star. Trainer adept a readying a newcomer, but fitting of blinkers for debut gives mixed signals.
€30,000 3-y-o half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Hartforth among other winners. Yard has a more obvious candidate in Festival D'Ex, but this gelding still needs a market check.
€30,000 3-y-o out of a maiden half-sister to fairly useful chaser Azrou d'Ex. Hard to assess on pedigree, but yard has taken this twice in last few years, and jockey booking looks highly significant.
€50,000 3-y-o half-brother to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Eragone out of a maiden half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Medison. Looks the pick of a trio from this yard on pedigree and jockey bookings, so respected.
€170,000 3-y-o full-brother to useful bumper winner Hollowgraphic and closely related to fairly useful jumper Dawn Shadow out of a bumper winner. Fourth in maiden on point-to-point debut earlier this month, and should do better in this sphere.
€12,000 3-y-o; first foal of a maiden half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Youm. Yard has a decent bumper record, but others appear to have more to recommend them.
€42,000 3-y-o half-brother to a winner abroad out of a maiden half-sister to useful hurdler Unanimite. Made up some late ground when 18½L sixth of 14 to Bioverdia in maiden bumper at Ballinrobe last time, having been well held on hurdling debut.
€20,000 3-y-o out of a lightly-raced Flat maiden. Stablemate of Arctic Ambition and Fiston de Becon from yard with excellent record in this race, and market will be useful.
€15,000 3-y-o out of a French 1¾m winner from a good family. Second to Sellarbridge at Punchestown on bumper debut, and better than result at Thurles last time, still leading when jinking and almost unseating his rider.
€68,000 3-y-o half-brother to 1½m-1m7f winner Geoffrey's Girl out of a 1¼m winner. Represents top connections, and shortlisted on that basis.
€14,000 3-y-o out of an unraced half-sister to smart jumper at up to 2½m Made In Taipan. Dam's previous foals to race have not been up to much, however.
Better effort in bumpers when last of 4 to Midnight Run at Naas last time. Hood and tongue tie now fitted, but he appears to be vulnerable in a field full of unexposed rivals.
€34,000 3-y-o out of a maiden half-sister to top-class performer Champagne Fever. In excellent hands, and shortlisted in absence of betting clues.
€70,000 3-y-o half-sister to useful French jumper Fou Et Sage out of a winning full-sister to smart hurdler/chaser Far West. One of a powerful team for leading trainer, and market will be informative.
Failed to handle the mud on second start, but had looked a good prospect when third on debut, and back to that form when sixth in a Listed event at Fairyhouse recently. Tongue tie added now.
Forecasts
Son Of Camas (2/1), Champagne Diva (4/1), Fiston De Becon (6/1), Festival D'ex (9/1), Papal Pearl (14/1), Evie's Song (14/1), Flanking Maneuver (16/1), Scalor (16/1), Bulldoze (20/1), Gold Mix (20/1), Nelson's Point (25/1), Arctic Ambition (25/1), Elusive Rebeldom (28/1), Arthur Fonzarelli (33/1), Nathaniel's Dream (50/1), Whatsnotoknow (66/1), Dylan Power (66/1), Vital Move (100/1), Balkos (100/1)
Gordon Elliott and Robert Tyner have won the last four runnings of this race, and are multiply represented this year. Festival D'Ex and Fiston de Becon appear their best chances respectively, and that pair are shortlisted, but it's always notable when Nicky Henderson sends one to these shores, and his SON OF CAMAS makes plenty of appeal on paper with a Flat-race pedigree which could put him at an advantage given the likely emphasis on speed.
