Horse A-Z
Off mark at third time of asking in Irish points in September. New yard no stranger to bumper success. Needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

3/1
Fair form when placed in 3 bumpers in Ireland for Sam Curling. Ought to be on the premises on British debut.
|
Timeform
Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Neachells Bridge (2½m winner). Sent off at 33/1 but showed plenty of ability when third of 12 on his C&D debut 22 days ago. Should figure again.

Timeform
14/1, looked more one for the longer term when midfield on his Chepstow debut a month ago.

9/2
Easy winner of his sole point and showed plenty of ability when second of 17 on his Warwick bumper debut 25 days ago. Another who has to enter the reckoning.
|
Timeform
Shaped with promise when second of 12 on Fairyhouse bumper debut in April. Changed hands for €115,000 soon after. Had wind op (also tongue tied) ahead of return for new yard. Player.
|
Timeform
€21,000 Presenting gelding. Dam bumper winner. Likely type on paper for top yard which has sent out a couple of impressive first-time-out bumper winners in recent weeks.
|
Timeform
Cima De Triomphe gelding. Dam ran twice over hurdles/once in bumper. Betting should help guide to what's expected.

16/1
€22,000 Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Troy Tempest and fair hurdler Oscar Vespasian. Dam unraced. Stable 15-167 in bumpers in last 5 seasons.

14/1
From a yard which does well in bumpers but he was only a modest fourth (Barnards Green third) on his C&D debut 22 days ago. More will be needed.

200/1
Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 11 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, good to firm) 81 days ago. Others preferred again.

Timeform
Westerner mare. Dam, useful bumper/2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart jumpers Carole's Legacy and Mad Max. Clearly bred to have a future. Market should provide more clues.

200/1
Haafhd half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Back By Midnight and fair chaser Glance Back. Wears hood. Would be a surprise winner on debut.

Forecasts

Ballyglass (3/1), Itso Fury (7/2), Grand Knight (9/2), Ballycamus (15/2), Mochachocachino (9/1), Barnards Green (9/1), Pour Me Another (14/1), Phil The Sock (16/1), Ohnodonttakemehome (20/1), Symbolic Spirit (25/1), That's The Spirit (50/1), Bertie Blue (66/1), Haafback (200/1), Rogan's Fancy (200/1)

Verdict

A decent-looking bumper in which a chance is taken on newcomer MOCHACHOCACHINO with the Skelton yard having sent out a few winning newcomers of late. Itso Fury has undergone wind surgery and wears a tongue tie but he's still an interesting recruit for the Jonjo O'Neill stable. Ballyglass, another who has shown plenty in Ireland, and Grand Knight also make the shortlist.

  1. MOCHACHOCACHINO (IRE)
  2. ITSO FURY (IRE)
  3. BALLYGLASS (IRE)
