Glens Finale³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

5/6

Gelding by Sholokhov out of a Orchestra mare. Closely related to Glens Melody, 2m - 3m hurdler Lean Araig and Glens Harmony. Kept on well to get off the mark on debut at Sligo in April. Another bold bid expected.

Form: 1

Golazo²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

5/2

Beat Hollow gelding is a half-brother to bumper winner Itsonlyrocknroll. Off the mark for connections at the second time of asking in a Ballinrobe bumper last month. Leading player.

Form: 3-1

Kylebrogue²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: S Curling

50/1

Gelding by Scorpion out of a Afzal mare. Half-brother to bumper and hurdle winners Brogine and Where's The Hare. Well held when never nearer in a couple of bumper appearances at Thurles and Killarney last month. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 9-9

Lowtown Charlie¹¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr T Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

16/1

Gelding by Ask out of a Shernazar mare. Cost £70,000 at the Cheltenham sales in February. Half-brother to 2m - 2m5f hurdle/chase winner Crazy Jack. Looks a long term prospect.

11/2

Gelding by Flemensfirth out of a Supreme Leader mare. Not sold at the Aintree April sales this year. Winner of a March point-to-point but unlikely to be surprising at a price in this contest.

Form: 1-

Thomasisonit

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J J O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T L Cogan

25/1

Gelding by Vertical Speed out of a Castle Keep mare. Half-brother to bumper/2m2f hurdle winner Schindler's Pearl and bumper winner Oiche Maith. Best watched on debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: L P Cusack

25/1

Daughter of Ask out of a Rudimentary mare. Dam placed in a 2m3f hurdle. Half-sister to bumper/2m3f - 2m7f hurdle/chase winner Five In A Row. Looks a future prospect.

Form:

Finding Joy⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss L A Hourigan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hourigan

16/1

Daughter of Yeats out of a Bahhare mare. Not much to shout about in three career starts to date including when 21L adrift of the winner at Ballinrobe last month. Looks opposable.

Form: 70-9

Lilac Rose^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N T Prendergast⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hennessy

33/1

Daughter of Sans Frontieres out of a Taipan mare. Half-sister to winners Cinevator, Billy Merriott and Ivy Glen. Likely to be of more interest given time.

Forecasts

Glens Finale (5/6), Golazo (5/2), Celine Soprano (3/1), Robaddan (11/2), Lowtown Charlie (16/1), Finding Joy (16/1), Even Flight (20/1), Askmenow (25/1), Thomasisonit (25/1), Lilac Rose (33/1), Kylebrogue (50/1)

Competitive end to proceedings with where Glens Finale, representing top bumper combination of Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd, along with impressive Wexford winner, Celine Soprano can emerge as big danger to the Willie Mullins-trained GOLAZO, who can build on a facile victory at Ballinrobe last month under jockey Patrick Mullins.
