Lieutenant Mayne¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Alex Harvey⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 110| D

10/1

Third in sole point last February and has looked potentially useful in winning his first two starts under Rules, again having something to spare at Uttoxeter last time. More on his plate here but can't be ruled out.

Form: 3-11

Coco Masterpiece⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| D

2/1

Winning pointer who followed suit when landing an 11-runner bumper at Thurles on Rules debut. More to come and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 12/1

Fleur In The Park³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| D

7/1

Made a winning start at Roscommon and excellent efforts in second on each of his next 3 starts. Should give his running but may have to settle for minor honours again.

Form: 1222

Hens Tooth⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr C Mullins⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins| D

20/1

Twice-raced winner in bumpers. 22¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Jeroboam Machin in Gr 2 bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 40/1) 58 days ago. Stable having good spell. Uphill task.

Form: 41-18

Patter Merchant⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr H C Swan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott| D

13/2

Won sole start in points. Also successful in 5-runner bumper at Leopardstown (16.2f, heavy, 1/2) on NH debut 95 days ago, pushed out. Another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 11

Redemption Day^h1⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 126| D

2/1

Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. 7/2, creditable 6¾ lengths third of 10 to Jeroboam Machin in Gr 2 bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 58 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Worth a chance to capitalise on a drop in grade.

Form: 102/23

The Passing Wife⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell

18/1

Winner in bumper at Punchestown in November. 7/1, fourth of 8 in bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 94 days ago. Others have more potential.

Form: 1-414

Forecasts

Redemption Day (2/1), Coco Masterpiece (2/1), Patter Merchant (13/2), Fleur In The Park (7/1), Lieutenant Mayne (10/1), The Passing Wife (18/1), Hens Tooth (20/1), Lieber Nicc (33/1)

REDEMPTION DAY might not be quite as good as he looked in his first season but he still has enough ability to finish second in a Grade 2, so he should be capable of taking this down in class. The unbeaten Patter Merchant is an obvious danger and Coco Masterpiece, a stablemate of the selection, can't be ruled out.
