Horse A-Z

14/1
Robin Des Champs mare may be capable of better after debut run at Bellewstown (good to yielding) this month; watch betting.
4
Horse silk
125/1
Doesn't make great appeal on paper and completely tailed off in bumpers at Leopardstown and Cork in March 2019; failed to complete in two point-to-points later in the year and can only be watched on return.
14 months separated wide-margin defeats in bumpers at Limerick and Cork (50-1 both times) and starts out with new trainer here after 333 day absence with limited expectations.

Horse silk
5/1
Daughter of Mahler out of a Zaffaran mare. Sister to point-to-point and 2m6f winner Mahler And Me; not seen since finishing 36L seventh of 16 in a bumper at this track in May 2019.

10/1
€10,000 three-year-old, Dubawi mare. Half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Fajry. Dam unraced half-sister to smart US Grade 1 9f winner Alwajeeha. Worth a look in the betting.
8
Horse silk
40/1
Court Cave filly out of a Great Palm mare. Half-sister to The Minack, smart hurdle/chase winner over 2m4f and 3m1f; well beaten 66-1 chance on debut in St Stephen's Day bumper at Limerick and off since.
Gold Well mare with plenty stamina in pedigree; runner-up sole point-to-point start and shaped with some promise in Bellewstown bumper this month (sixth) on rules bow. Can do better and longer trip helps.
10
Horse silk
5/2
A €40,000 filly by Shantou; she was a good third on debut at Punchestown in December before a disappointing showing at Cork a month later; trainer/jockey won both bumpers here on Monday and claims again.
Fame And Glory mare has shown plenty promise in five outings; including placed efforts in a bumper at Naas in February 2019 and at Bellewstown this month on return from an absence when pushing odds-on jolly all the way. Contender on that showing.
Closely related to 3m hurdle winner Storm Nelson, half-sister to bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Danali; adds a second string to Gordon Elliott's bow on first appearance and needs market check.
September Storm mare out of an unraced dam; northern stable having fewer runners recently; probably going to come on for this run.
Fame And Glory mare, dam a chase winner over 2m; stable have been in good form recently and rare bumper runner for Enda Bolger (only 1-42 previously in this sphere).
Reserve; Arctic Cosmos mare. Dam thrice-winning pointer. Trainer Pat Kelly without a winner in the last 12 months (0-71).

Verdict

Gordon Elliott landed both bumpers on the card here on Monday and Jamie Codd will be hoping to make it 3-3 for the week in the West by scoring on The Sliding Rock. Her Punchestown debut third in December is solid form and, while not as good next time at Cork, she's worthy of respect. Newcomer Westcoast Tiger gives the Cullentra handler a strong hand but this might go to WALKING FRAME. She chased home the Elliott hotpot on her return at Bellewstown this month, pulling clear of the remainder in doing so, and has the scope to go one better. Shanavoun Lady and More Info are others that may go well.
