Colliers Quay¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Dunne⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

40/1

Maiden pointer, fourth last time (Apr 12). Would be a surprise winner on Rules debut.

Form: 4/PP34-

Gusserane⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J P O'Rourke⁽⁷⁾| T: P O'Rourke

125/1

Pulled up both starts in points in April but did show a bit on his bumper debut at Listowel last month. Plenty of improvement will be needed, though.

Form: PP-6

Macdonagh Park^t1⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr F Maguire| T: D Hogan

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden in points. 66/1, sixth of 21 in bumper at Punchestown (19f, good to soft) on Rules debut 90 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Looks more one for the longer term.

Form: 5P26-

Market Square^h⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J L Gleeson| T: E Mullins

6/1

Promise when fifth of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (2m, good to soft) on debut 89 days ago, keeping on after not ideally placed. The form has been boosted by the runner-up. Market support significant for yard which targets this meeting.

Form: 5-

Martymill^p⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: A McCann

14/1

Improved effort when second of 10 in bumper at Listowel (2½m, good to soft) 59 days ago. First-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained.

Form: 46-62

Rond Point⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J C Barry| T: W Durkan

16/1

£80,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on completed start in points (May 3). Interesting runner.

Form: F2-

Run Ted Run

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

5/4

€45,000 Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Kilbarry Lilly and fair hurdler Kilbarry Chianti. Makes obvious appeal for a top stable which has won this twice since 2022.

Form:

Sir Vinny²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Kelly

5/1

Fair form when placed in big-field bumpers at Punchestown and Bellewstown this summer. Likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 32

Dieux Diligence⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr H C Swan| T: J P O'Brien

10/3

5/1, fourth of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (2m, good) on debut 54 days ago, with the reopposing Sir Vinny a place ahead of him. In the right hands to progress.

Form: 4

Flashy Fred¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr B T Stone⁽⁷⁾| T: Conor Houlihan| BF

14/1

Has run to a fair level when runner-up at Downpatrick and Killarney in recent weeks but this looks a harder race so may have to settle for minor honours at best again.

Form: 322

Gruncle

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr O T Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

100/1

Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler/fair chaser Blakey Boy and fair hurdler Knocknagoran Lady. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

Burning Like Fire¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr L P Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

66/1

Westerner filly who changed hands for €20,000 after finishing third in a point in March. The betting should help guide as to expectations.

Form: 3-

Girl From The West²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr O M Goff⁽⁷⁾| T: S Cavanagh

100/1

40/1, seventh of 16 in bumper at Cork (17f, good) on debut 20 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Forecasts

Run Ted Run (5/4), Dieux Diligence (10/3), Sir Vinny (5/1), Market Square (6/1), Martymill (14/1), Macdonagh Park (14/1), Flashy Fred (14/1), Rond Point (16/1), Our Sonny (20/1), Colliers Quay (40/1), Burning Like Fire (66/1), Gruncle (100/1), Girl From The West (100/1), Gusserane (125/1), Monard Flyer (250/1), Colga Boys (250/1), Mister O Reilly (300/1)

Willie and Patrick Mullins have combined to win this bumper twice since 2022 so the vote goes to RUN TED RUN, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Market Square shaped quite well on his debut at the Punchestown Festival in the spring and heads the dangers along with Sir Vinny and Dieux Diligence, who are closely matched on Punchestown form from last month. Point recruit Rond Point completes the shortlist.
