13/8

Justified support in the manner of a useful prospect at Punchestown in Apri. Shaped second best when 6¼ lengths third of 13 to Saint Clovis in listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) on return 43 days ago. Merits plenty of respect.

Form: 11-3

11/4

Looked a good prospect when winning 19-runner bumper at Galway (16.6f, good) on debut 154 days ago, forging clear. First run for yard after leaving A. Slattery. Open to improvement.

10/3

Won sole start in points and followed up in 11-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 30 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Must enter the reckoning.

Form: 1-1

Mossy Way⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Buckley| D

18/1

Showed improved form when winning 7-runner bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy, 5/4) 41 days ago, easing clear. First run for yard after leaving P. M. J. Doyle and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Form: 274-1

Passenger¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire| T: D K Weld

16/1

Off the mark at Cork in August before finishing 14¾ lengths third of 4 to Oh My Word in listed bumper at Navan (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Probably set for a minor role at best.

Form: 63-13

The First Turn⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curling| D

11/1

Made a winning debut in 10-runner bumper (2/1) at Thurles (15.7f, good to soft) 60 days ago, bit in hand. The second has franked that form since but this is a much stronger race overall.

Form: 1

Royal Hillsborough⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr S Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford| D

16/1

Built on debut promise at the second attempt when 6½ lengths second of 9 to Oldschool Outlaw in listed bumper at Navan (16f, heavy) 43 days ago. Will need more again to take this.

Forecasts

Bud Fox (13/8), Gomez Addams (11/4), Keep Him Company (10/3), The First Turn (11/1), Passenger (16/1), Royal Hillsborough (16/1), Mossy Way (18/1), Jerry From Kerry (18/1), Lake Isle (20/1), Tell Me See (125/1)

BUD FOX shaped clear second best when third in a Cheltenham listed event last month and is well worth another chance to build on a taking debut win. Gomez Addams impressed at Galway in the summer and is open to improvement on first start for Henry de Bromhead, while Keep Him Company warrants plenty of respect, also.
