Don Diablo¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

5/2

Flemensfirth gelding whose price rose to £70,000 as a four-year-old. Runner-up in sole point-to-point start in May and should have a say on rules debut.

Form: 2

Farceur Du Large¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr M J O'Hare| T: N Meade| BF

1/1

Placed in both Irish bumpers in the spring (favourite in both cases), those efforts amount to fair form and sets the standard for the others to aim at.

Form: 3-3

Favori Logique³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: R O'Sullivan

8/1

Made the frame, third of 12, in Ballinrobe bumper on debut last month and Patrick Mullins stays on board now. Should be improvement to come.

Form: 3

Freedom To Dream

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr S Perry⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

7/1

A €25,000 three-year-old Secret Singer gelding, he's a half-brother to numerous winners and needs a close inspection on first start.

Form:

Henry Sellers⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

33/1

Sans Frontieres out of a Mujadil mare. Fifth of eight on debut at Tramore recently having gone off a 25-1 chance, will require plenty more to have a leading say.

Form: 5

Lovely Moon¹⁸⁸

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

20/1

Unfancied on debut at Fairyhouse six months ago and unseated rider. Back from a break and watching brief sensible.

Form: U-

Powerful Ted

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

14/1

Power gelding; dam, 1m winner who stayed further, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful staying chaser Haar. Looks to be second choice of Noel Meade's pair.

Form:

Presenting Dylan¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J I Duggan⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Kelly

50/1

Nicely bred son of Dylan Thomas, didn't show enough in a heavy-ground bumper here on debut 18 days ago to merit selection now.

Forecasts

Farceur Du Large (1/1), Don Diablo (5/2), Freedom To Dream (7/1), Favori Logique (8/1), Powerful Ted (14/1), Lovely Moon (20/1), Barrys Rock (33/1), Henry Sellers (33/1), Presenting Dylan (50/1)

Farceur Du Large sets the standard based on his efforts in two bumpers earlier in the year. He returns with the Noel Meade yard in good form and sets the standard. Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd team up with a likely-looking rules debutant in DON DIABLO. He changed hands for £70,000 as a four-year-old and can give his in-form rider another score having finished second on his only point-to-point start. Favori Logique is a likely improver with Patrick Mullins staying faithful while Freedom To Dream is another notable debutant.
