Al Arrivee²⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: W P Mullins| BF

14/1

Confirmed the promise of her Rules debut when making a winning reappearance in 15-runner bumper at Sligo in June, produced to lead early in straight and soon clear. Cemented a sound start to her career when runner-up at Galway in August. Tackles better company now after 8 months off.

Form: 2-12

Belladaball^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr N McParlan| T: G P Cromwell

22/1

Improved another chunk to get off the mark in 8-runner listed bumper at Fairyhouse (2m, soft, 9/1) 25 days ago, by 3 lengths from Wonderful Everyday. That wasn't the strongest renewal of that race but there could still be more to come from her.

Form: 341

Born Believing^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J C Barry| T: C O'Connell

66/1

Court Cave mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Born Famous. Successful sole outing in points (Feb 1) and belied appreciable market weakness fitted with a tongue strap in 8-runner bumper at Cork (2m) earlier in the month, edging ahead on line. Worth a shot at this higher level.

Form: 11

Celestial Tune^t⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr R James| T: T Cooper

14/1

Improved again to follow up her Listowel success in 12-runner listed bumper at Cheltenham (2m, soft) with something in hand at the November meeting. Pulled up in Grade 2 at Leopardstown only outing since but was possibly unsuited by the testing conditions.

Form: 42-11P

Even Tho²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/2

Crystal Ocean mare who was clear and going well when falling last on sole start in points and gained quick compensation when justifying support on her Limerick Rules debut, picking up the standard-setter strikingly well under a hands-and-heels ride. Sure to improve.

Form: F1

Glens Anthem³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

11/8

Harzand mare. Half-sister to bumper winners Shantou's Melody and Glens Lullaby and looked an excellent prospect herself when running out a comfortable winner of a truly-run affair at Navan (2m) last month. That performance is supported by the timefigure and she seems sure to go on to better things.

Form: 1

Goulmichette^h1⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D Doyle| T: W P Mullins| BF

33/1

€170,000 No Risk At All mare. Easy winner of sole start in Irish points but raced too freely when failing to land cramped odds in race won by Latosca Du Houx in bumper at Ayr (2m, heavy) on Rules debut in February. Capable of better.

Form: 1-3

Kiltybo²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B T Stone| T: Conor Houlihan

14/1

Benefited from a less forceful ride than on Rules debut when making all in 6-runner bumper at Thurles in February and defied a penalty with minimum fuss at Naas. Ran to a similar level away from the mud when seventh in the Nickel Coin at Aintree since.

Form: FU5117

Latosca Du Houx⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: W P Mullins

9/1

Gris De Gris mare who looked a good prospect when winning 7-runner bumper at Ayr (2m, heavy) on debut (for Nicky Richards) in February, quickening clear. Looks sure to build on that on first start for Willie Mullins.

Form: 1

Maximillian Lady^h1²⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr O McGill| T: P Hennessy| D

16/1

Pulled-up sole start in points but has proved a different proposition under Rules, forging clear to win a weak bumper in good style at Galway (17f) in September. Ran at least as well in defeat in splitting a Mullins-trained pair in a Gowran listed event since. Has left W. J. Farrell.

Form: P-212

Some Pretender²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Elliot Ohgren| T: W P Mullins| D

40/1

Great Pretender mare who knew her job when making a winning start in a 15-runner bumper at Galway. Has been placed all 3 starts in listed company subsequently but remains vulnerable in this grade.

Form: 1333

Tintara²³

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

66/1

Runner-up completed start in points and lost out only on the nod to Born Believing in bumper (9/4) at Cork (2m, soft) on recent Rules debut, albeit having the run of race. More needed.

Form: F-F22

Treadonmydreams^t1⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D McGill| T: Ciaran Murphy

250/1

Dead-heated for first in a point back in May 2024 and was held back by inexperience on Rules debut when fourth of 6 in bumper at Naas in March. Needs a huge step forward upped in grade, however.

Form: 1/4

Wonderful Everyday²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: W P Mullins| BF| CD

14/1

Impressed when making a winning debut in a valuable big-field bumper at this meeting last April. Disappointing next 2 outings but got back on track when second to Belladaball in listed event at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) on latest start, albeit no match for that rival.

Form: 1-072

Coole Cafe^h³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: G P Cromwell| D

9/1

Academy hurdle winner who left behind a disappointing first run in bumpers in a first-time hood when scoring at Naas in February. Followed up in listed event at Limerick (2m) since and should have no problem with these less testing conditions given her pedigree.

Form: 1711

Sapphire Jewel²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr P W Gleeson| T: C Motherway

150/1

Walk In The Park filly. Sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Frankie John, and half-sister to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Shearer. Showed a bit behind Even Tho on last month's debut at Limerick but this is a big ask.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Glens Anthem (11/8), Even Tho (7/2), Coole Cafe (9/1), Latosca Du Houx (9/1), Celestial Tune (14/1), Al Arrivee (14/1), Wonderful Everyday (14/1), Kiltybo (14/1), Maximillian Lady (16/1), Belladaball (22/1), Goulmichette (33/1), Some Pretender (40/1), Born Believing (66/1), Tintara (66/1), Sapphire Jewel (150/1), Treadonmydreams (250/1)

A strong-looking renewal of this Grade 3 bumper. Glens Anthem impressed with the way she pulled clear of a well-backed favourite in a truly-run contest at Navan on her debut in March and looks sure to go on to better things. The main dangers appear to be stablemates Latosca du Houx and Even Tho, who both look very promising, too.
