Alfa Charlie

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

8/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h103), bumper winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Angels Antics. Appeals as a likely type on paper for top yard and he's one to consider.

Form:

De Temps En Temps¹⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: G P Cromwell

5/2

Court Cave gelding. Runner-up sole start in points and displayed promise starting out under Rules when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 107 days ago. Makes bumpers debut and he's another who is respected.

Form: 2-2

Nelsons Dawn

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley

125/1

Mount Nelson gelding. Dam made frame once over hurdles. Yard 0-8 with their runners in this sphere in last 5 seasons.

Form:

Parnell Street

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

18/1

Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Twinjets and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Strong Resemblance. Stable 1-8 with their runners in this sphere so far this term.

Pour One More⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: C Motherway

22/1

€21,000 3-y-o, Pour Moi gelding. 33/1, third of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 49 days ago, merely plugging on. Big jump forward required in form terms if he's to play a lead role here.

Form: 3

Powerful Paddy

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Cian Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: Alan McIntyre

40/1

Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to a point winner and bumper winner Shanches. Dam (h86), maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Prominent Profile.

Form:

Runcok⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/4

Merely hinted at ability in a big-field Punchestown bumper in the spring but much more like it when third of 11 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, heavy, 4/1) 46 days ago, doing best work late on. Likely there's even more to come and he's one to consider.

Form: 0-3

Skylight Hustle⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott

15/8

€100,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Sean Says. Dam unraced half-sister to (15f-2½m hurdle winner in Italy) Jar. Won sole start in points (Oct 2024) and he's another of interest on Rules debut.

Form: 1

Thedeviluno

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J L Gleeson⁽³⁾| T: P Nolan

25/1

Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Yard 1-7 with their runners in bumpers so far this season and the betting should guide.

Forecasts

Skylight Hustle (15/8), De Temps En Temps (5/2), Runcok (11/4), Alfa Charlie (8/1), Parnell Street (18/1), Pour One More (22/1), Thedeviluno (25/1), Powerful Paddy (40/1), Nelsons Dawn (125/1)

Point winner SKYLIGHT HUSTLE appeals as a likely type making his Rules debut for the stable who landed this contest 12 months ago, so he gets the narrow vote before the benefit of market clues. Runcok is one of the likely dangers following an improved showing at Tramore and is next best. The selection's stablemate Alfa Charlie and De Temps En Temps complete the shortlist.
