Broadway Ted⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: G Elliott| D

18/1

Well-bred Getaway gelding who put the race to bed in good style when making winning debut in 8-runner bumper (9/4) at Ayr (16f, heavy) 63 days ago. Open to improvement for top yard.

Form: 1-

Charismatic Kid⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr H C Swan| T: G Elliott| D

7/4

Overcame inexperience to score easily in 8-runner bumper at Navan (16f, heavy) on debut for Colm Ryan (With Nolimit in fourth a subsequent winner for the Elliott yard). Has since been purchased by powerful connections and there's surely better to come.

Form: 1

Generous Risk³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: G Elliott

10/1

£250,000 point winner who built on his debut promise when second to a good prospect from same stable at Fairyhouse in November but was left poorly placed in steadily-run 2½m bumper at Leopardstown subsequently. Remains better judged on previous form and merits respect back down in trip.

Form: 313/23

It's Only A Game^t⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: M Brassil

11/4

€160,000 3-y-o. Well-backed runner up on debut at Punchestown and travelled strongly/quickened clear to go one better in first-time tongue tie there (16.9f, soft) in November. The runner-up has won impressively since and that form sets the standard here.

Form: 2/1

Mossy Way³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr F R Buckley| T: E Buckley| D

18/1

Solid form when fourth at Thurles prior to bolting up in 7-runner bumper at Limerick (heavy) on final start for P. M. J. Doyle. Ran creditably when fourth in a C&D bumper (good to soft) on stable debut in December and may appreciate return to more testing conditions.

Form: 274/14

Rojuco Mac³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: C Byrnes

5/2

Third in notable bumper on debut prior to chasing home an improver at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on reappearance. Put his experience to good use to get off the mark in 7-runner bumper (5/6) at Limerick (18f, heavy) 36 days ago (third has won since) and he's earned a crack at something better.

Form: 3/21

With Nolimit³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: G Elliott| D

28/1

£250,000 purchase after winning sole start in points and finished fourth behind Charismatic Kid on Rules debut. Confirmed that promise when dictating to win 5-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago, responding well to pressure. Will be even better as his stamina is drawn out.

Form: 1/41

Forecasts

Charismatic Kid (7/4), Rojuco Mac (5/2), It's Only A Game (11/4), Generous Risk (10/1), Broadway Ted (18/1), Mossy Way (18/1), With Nolimit (28/1)

Some notable past winners of this valuable bumper and IT'S ONLY A GAME has made a very promising start, seeing off an impressive next-time-out winner at Punchestown in November. That form sets the standard and he's narrowly preferred to easy debut winner Charismatic Kid, who looks sure to improve on first start for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown, while Mossy Way could outrun his odds returned to more testing conditions.
