Masrur^t1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

6/4

£7,500 3-y-o, Sea The Stars gelding. Dam 6f/7f winner. Yard no stranger to success in bumpers and, with Brian Hughes booked, he's one to monitor closely in the betting. Wears tongue strap.

Form:

Stone Picker^t1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke

12/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Imperial Aura and fair hurdler/useful chaser Pawn Star. Dam was a bumper winner, but this 6-y-o is probably best watched on debut. Wears tongue strap.

Form:

Enki Flacke¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: Gerald Quinn

9/4

Didn't shape badly on debut at Naas in February, but he took a step firmly in the wrong direction at Leopardstown a month later and bit to prove starting out for new yard here.

Form: 40-

Life Made Simple⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

11/1

There were some positives to glean from his C&D debut in June, but he's probably more of a long-term prospect.

Form: 6

Lou Marvelous

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M & D Easterby

9/2

€40,000 3-y-o, £12,000 4-y-o. Half-brother to Lou Magnifica. Dam, 2m/2¼m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to French 17f-21f chase winner Lou Gold. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

Wee Jam Town^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: M A Barnes

22/1

Very limited appeal on paper and she will only be of interest if the market vibes are notably upbeat. Tongue strap enlisted.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Masrur (6/4), Enki Flacke (9/4), Solway Molly (3/1), Lou Marvelous (9/2), Life Made Simple (11/1), Stone Picker (12/1), Wee Jam Town (22/1)

MASRUR will be of strong interest if the market speaks in his favour, given that he represents the trainer-jockey combination that struck with a well-supported newcomer in a similar race here last month. In the C&D bumper in question, Solway Molly finished second to the Stuart Crawford-trained winner and she may again be the bride's maid. Lou Marvelous is well worth a second look in the betting.
