Barnet Brook³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: R O'Sullivan

11/1

Perhaps a shade disappointing at Kilbeggan latest after running so well to be second at Cork earlier. Still has achieved some of the best form here in three starts and he should be involved where it matters.

Form: 425

Big Boy Bloater²³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald

50/1

Weakened into eighth on debut at Clonmel three weeks ago and for all he will have learnt plenty there he's best watched here.

Form: 8

Bombay Blue^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: N Meade

10/1

Vocalised newcomer half-brother to two winners, one over hurdles. Yard do exceptionally well in such contests so has to be considered on debut.

Form:

Gold Speed^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: A Murray

5/1

Outclassed by top-drawer bumper performer Blackbow but second on his other two starts, most recently after 21 months off the track at Listowel. Surely improve for that outing and rates a leading player.

Form: F29/2

Golden Nomad¹³²

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

1/1

Dual point scorer bought for £52,000 after latest success in the spring. Joined top yard who excel with such buys and has to be respected here.

Form: 4/P12-21

Mick Mixy^t⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

50/1

No factor in three career starts and will again be a huge price here.

Form: 000

Whitequarryroad

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Mahon

50/1

Half-brother to useful sort Bally Longford and another winner in bumpers but probably best watched here for yard which don't often feature in bumpers.

Form:

Art Of The Deal¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: K P Egan

50/1

Tailed off last of 18 when debuting at Punchestown in June; can only be watched after that.

Form: 0

Dads Lad²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr H D Dunne⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs O Byrne

8/1

Once raced son of little used sire Elliot ran a cracker when second of 12 on debut at Clonmel earlier this month. Can't be ruled out on the back of that and there ought to be more to come.

Form: 2

Siberian Star¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

16/1

Sulamani gelding was beaten 18L when seventh of 20 at Punchestown on debut back in May. Can improve now but will need to be by plenty to place.

Form: 7

Taste The Fear⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D Kiely⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath

25/1

Mores Wells gelding ran well for a while before fading into sixth eight days ago at Ballinrobe. Should improve so can hunt for some place prize money here.

Form: 6

Beautiful Drama⁶⁷

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

50/1

Finished last out of those who completed on rules debut in a Southwell bumper in April and ran out when in front next at Ballinrobe in July. May have untapped potential.

Form: 0-R

Madaboutmadde

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Murphy

33/1

Newcomer by Finsceal Fior out of an unraced dam makes little appeal for yard with one bumper winner in last five seasons.

Form:

Moonlit Wings^t1¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: Yvonne Latta

12/1

Mare bought out of a Courtown point-to-point win is related to several winners and one to monitor in the market now under rules.

Form: 41-

Wiggles

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Howard

25/1

Flat-bred newcomer by Rock Of Gibraltar out of a prolific Flat winning mare. Market can guide on debut.

Form:

Annual Flavour²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Cawley⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Nicholson

20/1

Daughter of Gamut not disgraced when fourth in a 2m3½f bumper at Kilbeggan. Should fare similarly well here and not dismissed.

Form: 4

Future Glory

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr C J Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: J T Gorman

50/1

By Fame and Glory out of an unraced but very stoutly bred dam so may be one for further down the line over staying trips.

Form:

Serpolette^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: E D Delany

33/1

Retained by her vendor at auction, this filly by Dylan Thomas out of an unraced dam is probably best watched wearing the hood on debut.

Forecasts

Golden Nomad (1/1), Gold Speed (5/1), Dads Lad (8/1), Bombay Blue (10/1), Barnet Brook (11/1), Moonlit Wings (12/1), It Takes Time (14/1), Siberian Star (16/1), Annual Flavour (20/1), Taste The Fear (25/1), Wiggles (25/1), Serpolette (33/1), Madaboutmadde (33/1), Future Glory (50/1), Mick Mixy (50/1), Beautiful Drama (50/1), Big Boy Bloater (50/1), Whitequarryroad (50/1), Art Of The Deal (50/1)

Following Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd in such contests is usually a good way to go and the pair's point-to-point recruit GOLDEN NOMAD is preferred to twice second Gold Speed who does have the best bumper form. Also considered is Dads Lad who ran really well on debut when second.
