Bois D'angos⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

66/1

Showed the benefit of his initial experience under Rules when landing 7-runner bumper at Limerick (17f, heavy) in March, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Needs another chunk of improvement now taking on stronger opposition.

Form: F-31

Bon Bon Fizz⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: J M Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

6/1

Fell sole start in points/over hurdles prior to making a winning bumper debut in 8-runner event at Thurles (17f, heavy) in March, suited by emphasis on stamina. Has since been bought out of Paul O'Flynn's yard and interesting to see if he's as effective under less testing conditions.

Form: FF1

Outofafrika⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D G Lavery| T: G P Cromwell| D

16/5

Showed the benefit of his initial experience under Rules when landing 7-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) in February, leading under 2f out and going clear final 1f. Further improvement possible.

Form: 1-51

Soul Asylum⁷⁴

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

7/2

£280,000 Walk In The Park gelding. Runner-up in a point and looked above average when making a successful debut under Rules in a course bumper (2m, heavy) in February. Open to improvement.

Form: 21

Cowboy Casanova^h³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: M Bowen

50/1

€58,000 Walk In The Park gelding who finished third on sole outing in points and has shaped well on both bumper starts, including in a first-time hood when third of 7 at Uttoxeter (2m) last month. Has a lot more on his plate here, however.

Form: 323

Highlander Addict²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn

66/1

Built on debut promise when second of 16 in bumper (33/1) at Navan (2m, good to soft) in September, albeit no match for the winner. This is a big step up, however.

Form: 72

It's Good To Talk⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: E Mullins

14/1

Caravaggio gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart multiple bumper winner A Dream To Share, and made a promising start to her career when second in 6-runner bumper at Naas (15f, heavy) on debut in February. Likely to improve for all that this asks for a good deal more.

Form: 2

Adaboy Mushy^h1⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr B T Stone⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally| D

9/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Mahlervous. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 8-runner bumper at Leopardstown (2m, soft) last month and open to improvement with a hood now applied.

Form: 1

Our Trigger⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 119| D

22/1

Brother to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Gaelic Warrior and looked a good prospect himself when drawing clear to land odds of 2/5 on his Gowran bumper debut in January. Beat only one home in Champion Bumper subsequently, though.

Form: 10

Quiryn⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 125| D

7/4

Sottsass gelding who created an excellent impression when scoring by 9 lengths on his Naas debut (soft) in January. Found his failure to settle early catching up with him late in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and probably still has a bigger performance in him.

Form: 16

Forecasts

Quiryn (7/4), Outofafrika (16/5), Soul Asylum (7/2), Look Me (7/2), Bon Bon Fizz (6/1), Adaboy Mushy (9/1), It's Good To Talk (14/1), Our Trigger (22/1), Cowboy Casanova (50/1), Highlander Addict (66/1), Bois D'angos (66/1)

QUIRYN wasn't beaten at all far in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and the suspicion remains that there's an even bigger performance in his locker providing he can settle a bit better during the early stages. Look Me is a leading contender judged on his second in a Grade 2 at Aintree earlier in the month, with Outofafrika another worthy of serious consideration.
