Minella Emperor^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

14/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning bumper at Kilbeggan in May and ran to a similar level in first-time cheekpieces when third of 7 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft) 20 days ago, barely adequate test. Sure to be suited by longer trips when switched to jumping in due cours.

Form: 4544-13

9/2

Landed a course bumper prior to finishing third of 18 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good) 43 days ago. Should remain competitive back in a bumper.

12/1

Belied unflattering odds to make a winning debut in 9-runner bumper at Listowel (20f, good to soft) in June, kept up to work. The second has franked that form, so must enter calculations.

Galileo Sand^p1³⁷

6/4

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 13-runner bumper (8/11) at this course (17f, good to soft) 37 days ago, digging deep. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 34-21

Papanell²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr H C Swan| T: J J Murphy

15/2

33/1, produced a promising first effort when fourth of 19 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago. Good claims.

Form: 4

Tenacious Spirit¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr L Hackett⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 18/1, fourth of 7 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, well positioned. Switches back to a bumper and needs to improve signficantly.

Forecasts

Galileo Sand (6/4), Delta Force (5/2), That Danny Feeling (9/2), Governors Rock (5/1), Papanell (15/2), Themanintheanorak (12/1), Minella Emperor (14/1), We Be Grand (25/1), Tenacious Spirit (66/1)

GALILEO SAND showed a good attitude to get off the mark here last month and, with that form working out well, he's fancied to supplement that success fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Papanell and Themanintheanorak head the dangers.
