Cola Blaze^t²⁰⁸

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

16/1

Winner in bumper at Thurles in November. 50/1, well-beaten twelfth of 13 to Fleur Au Fusil in Grade 2 mares' bumper at Leopardstown (2m) in February. This rates less demanding at least back from 6 months off.

Form: 0/150-

Love At Sea²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J Reddington⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hurley

12/1

Modest in bumpers/over hurdles initially but appeared to show much improved form on debut for new yard when winning 13-runner bumper at Sligo (18.4f, soft) 22 days ago, allowed plenty of rope on the front end. Not certain to replicate that here.

Form: 40/7281

Miss Dishy⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy

20/1

Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Career best when winning 12-runner bumper (9/2) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 7 days ago, battling well. Not out of the question she could do better again.

Form: 8371

Mozzies Sister^t¹²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁵⁾| T: D Queally

15/8

Winner of her completed starts in points and impressive when landing Cork bumper on debut in March. Better still when second in mares' Grade 3 at Punchestown (16.6f) in May and she sets the standard on that form here. Solid claims.

Form: B/112-

Docteur Elysees^t1⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ms S Peyroles⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Hayes

150/1

Champs Elysees mare. Finished well held only start for Gordon Elliott when thirteenth of 14 in bumper at Galway (18f, good to soft) on debut 13 months ago. Last of 5 finishers completed start in points (May 26) since. Rates best watched with tongue tie added.

Form: 0PP-5

Expresso Tini

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr H C Swan⁽³⁾| T: M A Molloy

12/1

Vendangeur mare. Half-sister to dual bumper winner Quiet Escape. Dam unraced.

Go Avel^t1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr I Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: Francis Casey

200/1

Court Cave mare. Sister to fair hurdler/chaser Flamingo's Court. Seventh of 8 in bumper (40/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago, left behind after halfway. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: 7

Is She Now²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr J C Barry| T: V C Ward

66/1

Showed plenty of ability when runner-up on bumper debut at Navan (15.5f) last September. Probably best not judged too harshly on her exploits in pair of starts this summer and possible she still has more to offer.

Form: 2-90

Wild Mandate²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M M McNiff

12/1

Made the frame on first 5 starts in bumpers, runner-up at Sligo (18.3f) in July. Latest distant fourth behind re-opposing Love At Sea back at that venue probably best overlooked and better showing anticipated here.

Form: 433-224

Dippedinmoonlight⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J L Gleeson⁽⁵⁾| T: E Mullins

1/1

€9,500 4-y-o, resold €130,000 4-y-o, Zarak filly. Closely related to French 11f-12.5f winner Born Cross and half-sister to 3 winners. Dam maiden on Flat in France. Easy winner sole start in points (May 26) and of interest for yard boasting a very healthy strike rate in this sphere.

Form: 1

Glossary

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr L P Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson

200/1

Yeats filly. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 23f) Majorica King.

Forecasts

Dippedinmoonlight (1/1), Mozzies Sister (15/8), Sainte Tartare (7/2), Mrs Mc Go (10/1), Love At Sea (12/1), Wild Mandate (12/1), Expresso Tini (12/1), Cola Blaze (16/1), Atomic Queen (16/1), Miss Dishy (20/1), Is She Now (66/1), Leamydee (100/1), Docteur Elysees (150/1), Glossary (200/1), Go Avel (200/1)

Having run out an impressive winner on debut at Cork in March, MOZZIES SISTER surpassed that form when a solid second in Grade 3 company at Punchestown in May and a repeat back from a break should see her play a lead role again here. Dippedinmoonlight, an easy winner of her only start in points, is another to note, along with Willie Mullins' newcomer Sainte Tartare. Mrs Mc Go could reach the frame.
