Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

4/9

Once-raced maiden. Second of 9 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy, 15/8) on NH debut 161 days ago, giving best only to a battle-hardened sort. Big player with that under his belt.

125/1

Failed to complete in 2 points ahead of belated Rules debut and best watched.

Form: BF/

Duke Of Doyen

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: D M Christie

20/1

Doyen gelding. Dam (h91), hurdle winner up to 19f, sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Sego Success. Makes some appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form:

Golden Cosmos¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: P Fenton

25/1

Arctic Cosmos gelding. 11/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Ballinrobe (17.1f, soft) on NH debut 17 days ago, never on terms. Likely to do better in due course.

Form: 5

Kingfisher Lane²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr B G Crawford⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

9/2

Promising start when fifth in 16 runner bumper at Punchestown at the start of the month, remaining prominent until 1f out. Claims of hitting the frame on that evidence.

Form: 5-

Magheralin Mick^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: J G Cosgrave

12/1

Shirocco gelding. Dam (b93), 2¼m bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 33f) Golden Chieftain. Wears tongue strap.

Form:

Wee Charlie

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr P Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Nolan

28/1

Court Cave gelding. Dam, point winner, ran twice over hurdles. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse debut.

Form:

Ashlea Dawn²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr A P Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey

40/1

Once-raced maiden. 80/1, thirteenth of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. One for later on judged on that effort.

Lough Manor^h⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: M J Smith

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 14 in bumper at Clonmel (16.7f, good) on bumper debut 8 days ago. Booking of Jamie Codd catches the eye.

Form: P8-4

Full Of Light²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr T Hamilton| T: Ms M Mullins

20/1

Leading Light gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Pinnacle Panda, stayed 3m, and fairly useful hurdler Cotton End. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 25). Reserve 1.

Forecasts

Aslukwoodhavit (4/9), Kingfisher Lane (9/2), Sula Warrior (9/2), Magheralin Mick (12/1), Game And Glory (12/1), Lough Manor (14/1), Full Of Light (20/1), Duke Of Doyen (20/1), Golden Cosmos (25/1), Wee Charlie (28/1), Won For Stella (33/1), Ashlea Dawn (40/1), Wexford Sage (100/1), Meetmeattheborder (100/1), Cousin Zeleznik (125/1)

ASLUKWOODHAVIT was strong in the betting and shaped well when runner-up on debut in a Punchestown bumper on debut back in December, giving best only to a battle-hardened sort. Absent since, he looks to have been found a good opportunity to make it second time lucky. Kingfisher Lane, Lough Manor and Game And Glory head up the dangers, in that order.
