20/1

Off the mark at third attempt in 13-runner listed bumper at Gowran 128 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Sheer Liss, kept up to work. Needs to do more if she's to take a hand in this.

50/1

25/1 and hooded for 1st time, won 11-runner bumper at Cork (16f, heavy) 36 days ago, very much having run of race. First run for yard after leaving Mrs D. A. Love. Others make more appeal.

66/1

3/1, won 12-runner bumper at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 20 days ago, forging clear. This looks a whole lot tougher.

10/3

Promising individual. 11/8 and tongue strap on, won 11-runner bumper at Naas (16f, heavy) on NH debut 55 days ago by 11 lengths from Feddans, cruising clear. Should ba a good deal more to come.

Won 10-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 4/9) on NH debut 57 days ago, tanking round and drawing clear impressively approaching final 1f. Will take the beating.

Form: 1-1

Grangee²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jodie Townend| T: W P Mullins| D

18/1

Twice-raced winner in bumpers. 8½ lengths third of 7 to Eileendover in listed bumper (7/4) at Market Rasen (16.6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Not discounted for all she has a bit to find.

22/1

11/8, won 11-runner bumper at Carlisle (17f, heavy) on NH debut 56 days ago, pushed out. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Entitled to progress from that.

10/1

Scored for Roger McGrath on debut, then when 3¾ lengths second of 9 to Castra Vetera in listed bumper (5/2) at Navan (16f, heavy) 77 days ago starting out for current stable. May do better still.

Form: 12

Once-raced maiden. 12/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 18 in bumper at Navan (16f, good) on NH debut, not knocked about. Off 16 months. First run for yard after leaving Yvonne Latta. Difficult ask.

Form: 41/6-

Forecasts

Brandy Love (10/11), Take Tea (10/3), Brooklynn Glory (5/1), Party Central (10/1), Grangee (18/1), Purple Mountain (20/1), Hollymount (22/1), Betty Zane (50/1), Mare Quimby (66/1), Feddans (66/1), Moonlit Wings (250/1)

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and it's no surprise BRANDY LOVE is his first choice on jockey bookings based on the way she easily cleared away to score at Fairyhouse on Rules debut. Her stablemate Take Tea also arrives on the back of an emphatic debut, so she may well prove the biggest threat ahead of Hollymount.
