Homme D'Un Soir³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott| D

8/13

Flat-bred related to multiple winners over middle distances; made short work of opening mission at Gowran (soft) in January and the one to beat under penalty for top trainer/jockey.

Form: 1

Blazing Khal²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P Byrnes⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes| BF

6/1

Saddler Maker gelding out of an Oscar mare; only fifth of 10 in bumper at Naas (2m, soft) on debut recently despite going of 13-8f; should be wiser for the experience and can improve.

Form: 5

Surmise

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: P Twomey

7/1

Camelot gelding is a half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including smart 7f-1m1f winner Wentworth. Makes some appeal on paper and worth betting check on first start.

Form:

Lunar Display

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: O R Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Getaway filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Kalopsia and bumper winner Chead Solas. Merits a close look on debut for Joseph O'Brien (26 per-cent strike-rate in bumpers previous 12 months).

Form:

Rebelle Chaud

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr P J Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Donoghue

50/1

Fame And Glory filly. Dam (b67), lightly-raced in bumpers, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Ttebbob. Market should reveal plenty on first start.

Form:

Say Goodbye

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ms L O'Neill| T: G Elliott

8/1

A €125,000 sister to useful hurdler The Big Breakaway and half-sister to two winners, including very smart chaser Kildisart. Second runner for Gordon Elliott and gets a stone from Homme D'un Soir; notable newcomer.

Form:

Non-Runners

S'all Good Man²²

Weight: 11-5| Age: 4

Forecasts

Homme D'Un Soir (8/13), Blazing Khal (6/1), Lunar Display (7/1), Surmise (7/1), S'all Good Man (7/1), Say Goodbye (8/1), Rebelle Chaud (50/1)

Having a looked a very smart prospect in making a winning start at Gowran Park on Thyestes Day last month, the chances are that HOMME D'UN SOIR can concede his penalty and double up now. That being said, his stablemate Say Goodbye and Lunar Display are both very interesting newcomers, the latter for a yard with a super strike-rate in bumpers, so the betting will be an essential guide.
