28/1

Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in August. Second of 9 in bumper at Ballinrobe (16f, good to soft, 7/1). Off 7 months. Others make more appeal.

20/1

13/8, off the mark at the second attempt in 11-runner bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 105 days ago, comfortably. Not discounted for all this is a much tougher contest.

5/2

3/1 and hooded, won 15-runner bumper at Thurles (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 67 days ago, cruising clear. Likely to improve.

Mellificent

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: L Fowler

25/1

Fame And Glory mare. Half-sister bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Tamar Bridge. Dam 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Interesting on paper, but this is a tough ask on debut.

100/1

€9,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Redzor, stays 3¼m and fair hurdler Oneknightmoreihope, stays 2¾m.

25/1

Won 8-runner bumper at Clonmel (16f, heavy, 14/1) on NH debut 46 days ago, well on top finish. Open to improvement, but this is tougher.

Forecasts

Hunters Yarn (1/1), I Am Fortunata (5/2), The Mediator (11/2), Johnny Cigar (10/1), Holmes St Georges (20/1), Mellificent (25/1), Chautuaqua (25/1), Eco Pete (28/1), Let's Go Joe (40/1), Jane Wilde (50/1), Give Me A Boom (100/1), Lady Goliath (100/1), Macanogue (150/1)

THE MEDIATOR was very strong in the betting before bolting up at Down Royal on debut 171 days ago and, despite being off since, he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record. Stablemate I Am Fortunata looks a threat along with Hunters Yarn.
