Rocket Lad³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss R Dudfield⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

11/8

Off the mark on his second bumper start at Tramore over 2m when last seen in May, the Olden Times gelding is likely to run well once again for connections.

Form: 3-31

Streets Of Doyen⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr T Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

9/2

Last seen in May winning an Ayr bumper, subsequently changing hands for £68,000. Yard in terrific form and worth noting in the betting on stable debut.

Form: 1

Centaur^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr N Bashford⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| D

9/2

Off the mark for connections at the third attempt landing a Downpatrick contest in May. Beaten in a couple of subsequent bumpers last month but fancied to go well here.

Form: 5-4122

Bentham⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell

10/3

Failed to build on a promising bumper effort in April when finishing a well held ninth of 17 beaten 29L at Punchestown when last seen in May. Makes limited appeal but yard going well at this meeting.

Form: 52-9

Wings Of Destiny

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

8/1

Shirocco gelding out of an In The Wings mare. Cost £43,000 as a three-year-old before sold for as little as £600 at the Ascot sales in March. In the right hands for a bold bid on debut.

Form:

Asking For Trouble

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr D T Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: L Comer

40/1

Zebedee colt out of a Val Royal mare. Half brother to winners, Royal Connoisseur and Wayway. Likely to improve for first outing.

Form:

My Red Devil Girl

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Mahon

50/1

Daughter of Excellent Art out of a Woodman mare. Half-sister to Flat winners, Sonnium, Sweet Spot and Moddone. One to watch making debut here.

Form:

Lady Riposte^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

33/1

Daughter of Arcadio out of an Oscar mare. Dam one from 15 over hurdles, successful over 2m. Looks a long term prospect.

Forecasts

Rocket Lad (11/8), Bentham (10/3), Streets Of Doyen (9/2), Centaur (9/2), Wings Of Destiny (8/1), Lady Riposte (33/1), Asking For Trouble (40/1), My Red Devil Girl (50/1)

The Emmet Mullins-trained, ROCKET LAD can land the closing race of the 2019 meeting here, following up on a 1L victory, staying on well at Tramore when last seen in May. Streets Of Doyen and Centaur from a couple of in form yards can emerge as the biggest dangers, while Wings Of Destiny, on debut and Bentham for the Gavin Cromwell yard are not easily passed over.
