12/1

Fourth sole start in points (Dec 2023). Tongue strap on, fourth of 14 in bumper (15/2) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Shaped like a stayer then so increase in trip rates a likely plus here.

Form: 4-4

Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/very smart chase winner Sir Gerhard and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Hey Johnny. Highly respected on debut.

8/1

Soldier of Fortune gelding who was a lightly raced winner in points and produced a fairly promising effort when third of 9 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Likely he can build on that.

Form: 31-3

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A P Fahey⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey

4/1

Fair form at best in 5 starts in bumpers. 14/1, matched that level when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Entitled to be thereabouts back in this sphere.

Form: 0/7244-3

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms N M Bradley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin

200/1

Form: 6-

Sarrealta²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: Peter Fahey

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Steps up in trip for bumper debut but she looks a likely type for later on.

Form: 8

So Far Away⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Burke

33/1

Twice-raced maiden who showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 10 in bumper (200/1) at Limerick (19f, heavy) 48 days ago. Needs to progress further if she's to play a part here.

Forecasts

Lovely Hurling (6/5), Dacman (10/3), Remember'hesmine (4/1), Serious Chat (7/1), Mic Drop (8/1), Beaufort Scale (12/1), Oh Really (28/1), Laravie (33/1), Sarrealta (33/1), So Far Away (33/1), Jeu De Pic (50/1), As The Lad Says (150/1), Rock Of Baile Ur (200/1)

DACMAN makes plenty of appeal on paper as a half-brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Sir Gerhard and he's very much of interest on bumper debut for his powerful stable. Mic Drop and Serious Chat are others fancied to be thereabouts, with Lovely Hurling and Beaufort Scale others to keep an eye on.
