Ballyteigue Bay¹⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry

28/1

Concerningly, was found to have bled when pulled up on second start over hurdles at Tramore on New Year's Day, though now returns to a bumper for the first time since finishing third in a thin race at Clonmel on debut.

O'callaghan Can¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Rory Devine

14/1

Could hardly have shown any less when pulled up in a bumper on debut at Thurles last February, for all the ground was testing.

Pack Ball²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: T Cooper

11/5

€25,000 No Risk At All gelding. Dam, 1¼m winner on the Flat. Showed a bit under a 7-lb claimer when fifth of 11 in a Killarney bumper on debut and looks interesting with Patrick Mullins taking over in a weak race.

Form: 5

Rokanako³³²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P A King⁽³⁾| T: James King

3/1

Needed the run/experience when down the field in a Tipperary bumper on debut last July. Has since left Patrick Gerard Ryan and is worth a second look in the betting on first start for new yard.

Corway^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: E Doyle

16/1

Vadamos gelding. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 8.5f). Wears tongue strap for debut and is at least bred to have the speed for this sort of test.

Getaway gelding. Dam unraced. Yard's record in bumpers doesn't inspire confidence, for all this is a notably thin race.

Tongue strap goes on for the first time on bumper debut, and while it's hard to be confident on the back of 2 poor hurdle runs, his yard has a solid recent record in this sphere.

Form: 9/0

Madison Twist

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Kevin Healy⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath

3/1

Headman gelding. Dam unraced sister to French chaser (17f-2¾m winner) Jazz Manouche. Stable is an unlikely source of a debut bumper winner.

Form:

Getaway Tobin^t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr F R Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

14/1

€60,000 Getaway mare. Half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Monkfish. Made no impact in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival on debut but now finds herself in significantly calmer waters.

Form: 0/

Rarely Miss Taken

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Donoghue

10/1

Poet's Word mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Bobby's Nelson and fair hurdler Kalanisi Dubh. Dam, point winner, closely related to useful bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Twentytwo's Taken. Probably doesn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact on debut.

Forecasts

Pack Ball (11/5), Rokanako (3/1), Madison Twist (3/1), Rarely Miss Taken (10/1), Ivebeenkewadesert (14/1), O'callaghan Can (14/1), Getaway Tobin (14/1), Corway (16/1), Ballyteigue Bay (28/1), Gowayoutathat (28/1)

Support for any of the newcomers should be noted but PACK BALL appeals most of those with experience and he gets the vote in an uninspiring finale. Ballyteigue Bay has at least shown fair placed form on his sole start in a bumper, while this is a far easier test than Getaway Tobin faced on debut.
