Bairdin^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: K Purcell

25/1

Westerner gelding, newcomer related to smart hurdler and useful chaser Minella Awards, who stayed 25f. Breeding suggests stamina and starts out in a tongue strap.

Bravemans Call

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

14/1

€10,000 foal. Brave Mansonnien gelding whose dam was a winning pointer from a staying family, including winners over 25f and 27f. Market likely to prove best guide to expectations.

Caislean Gear¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery| BF

2/1

Similar form when in frame both starts, finishing fourth of 8 at Limerick 14 days ago when leaving the impression he'd benefit from more of a test. Experience could count for plenty here so he should play a prominent role.

Form: 24

Charles Kickham^h1⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J C Barry| T: K Purcell

18/1

Eighth of 12 in a maiden bumper at Down Royal in May on debut, caught out by racing too freely. Hood applied for the first time to help him settle but plenty more required.

Form: 8

Emergency Man

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr B T Stone⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

4/1

Shirocco gelding, half-brother to a point winner out of a dam who stayed 3m. Makes some appeal on pedigree and is one to watch in the betting.

Form:

Inishtearaght^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: E Mullins

11/4

€22,000 3-y-o. Poet's Word gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Golden Taipan, who won up to 3m, and from a family with further black type. One to take very seriously if market speaks in his favour (tongue tied).

Form:

Throwmedownsomthin

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr J P Sampson⁽⁷⁾| T: I Madden

50/1

Cityscape gelding, first foal of a dam who won at 10.4f. Hard to fancy given stable's lack of winners.

Form:

Walkineezy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr H C Swan| T: D Hogan

9/2

€16,000 3-y-o. Walk In The Park gelding, bought last June and now takes first step under Rules in this bumper. Market may guide.

Forecasts

Caislean Gear (2/1), Inishtearaght (11/4), Emergency Man (4/1), Walkineezy (9/2), Bravemans Call (14/1), Charles Kickham (18/1), Bairdin (25/1), Throwmedownsomthin (50/1)

INISHTEARAGHT is a half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Golden Taipan, who won up to 3m, and hails from a family with further black type. The €22,000 purchase makes plenty of appeal on debut and can make a winning start. Caislean Gear has experience on his side so could be the biggest threat.
