Carrigmoorna Pine⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner

66/1

Held in fourth on his rules debut in a Gowran bumper, and beaten further on his hurdles debut at Galway last month. Much more needed.

Form: 3/414-8

Chesterville^h1⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Gary Noonan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Neville

100/1

Was pulled up after making a bad mistake on his hurdles debut at Listowel a couple of months ago. Hood fitted for this return to action, but can only watch.

Form: 6P

Conflated^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| D

20/1

Fifth in a Clonmel bumper in March before he fell at Wexford on his recent hurdles debut. In the right hands to find improvement, but may have to wait for other days.

Form: 0/U241-F

Coppercoast Paudie

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: P E Corbett| T: Ms M Flynn

100/1

By an Ascot Gold Cup winner out of a twice pulled-up pointer and daughter of Supreme Leader. Probably one to watch with the future in mind.

Fire Away^t¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: G T Hourigan

20/1

Got off the mark at the third attempt in a Wexford bumper in March. Not disgraced against Grade 1 opposition at Punchestown next time, but still beaten 23L by the reopposing Colreevy. Respectable run over hurdles at Wexford latest. Each-way player.

Form: F621-02

Goodbye Someday¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N P Madden| T: J E Kiely

12/1

Showed some ability in bumpers and improved on his hurdles debut when fourth at Clonmel recently. Not written off, but needs a fair bit of improvement to beat one or two of these opponents.

Form: 646-34

Justice Jim^t1²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: H P Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael G Cleary

100/1

Well beaten in both maiden hurdle outings so far and readily opposed.

Form: 98

Midnight Run²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| D

13/8

Dual bumper winner who was less than 5L second to the classy Envoi Allen in Listed company in-between. Not seen since February, but no doubting his ability and could have a big say if taking to this discipline.

Form: 121-

Our J¹⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson

100/1

Well beaten when pulled up in a Downpatrick bumper in May. Can only take a watching brief here.

Form: P

Paranoid²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: P J Cawley⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Kelly

50/1

Switches back to this sphere from a spell over fences, where he has performed with credit. Even so, looks to have plenty to find with the main protagonists.

Form: 395034

Rebel Waltz⁴⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: T J Nagle-Jr

100/1

Beaten a long way at both Wexford and Killarney, and although both were in bumpers, he needs a lot of improvement now switching to this discipline.

Form: 88-

Sicario Jack²⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Cahill

100/1

Well beaten in a Limerick bumper on debut in March. Lots to find on his hurdling debut.

Form: 8-

Arthur's Baby²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: I J McCarthy| T: M M McNiff

100/1

Won a point in February, but she has been well held in a couple of bumpers since then. Plenty to prove on hurdles debut.

Form: 4170-7

Colreevy²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

8/13

Grade 3 bumper winner at last year's Punchestown Festival. Ran just twice last season, the latest seeing her return to the same track for Grade 1 bumper success. Optimism from her pedigree that she will go well over hurdles. The one to beat.

Form: 1371/3-1

Fag An Bealach²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Donagh Meyler| T: A L T Moore

16/1

Romped home to win by 15L on debut in a Down Royal bumper in March, before disappointing against Grade 3 opponents next time. Decent hurdles debut at Galway last month, and probably an each-way player here.

Form: 1-03

Forecasts

Colreevy (8/13), Midnight Run (13/8), Goodbye Someday (12/1), Fag An Bealach (16/1), Conflated (20/1), Fire Away (20/1), Paranoid (50/1), Carrigmoorna Pine (66/1), Coppercoast Paudie (100/1), Chesterville (100/1), Sicario Jack (100/1), Justice Jim (100/1), Rebel Waltz (100/1), Arthur's Baby (100/1), Our J (100/1)

This should chiefly concern high class bumper performers Midnight Run and COLREEVY, and the latter is just preferred on her hurdles debut, with a 7lb allowance looking attractive. Fire Away and Fag An Bealach could be the ones to chase those leading contenders home.
