Cap Bernat^h,t²⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: R McNeilly| OR: 87

18/1

Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles and handicaps are likely to prove more his level if ever getting a try in them.

Form: 42/05-46

Euro Agent⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 105

4/7

Has been running well in similar events, twice runner-up at this track and then third in 17-runner contest at Gowran (2½m) last week. This looks a good opening.

Form: R5-7223

Marine Tycoon

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel King| T: A J Martin

4/1

Crystal Ocean gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Patsy's Honour. Dam (h137) 2m-2½m hurdle winner, also 2m winner on Flat. Interesting to see what the market has to say on debut.

Form:

Lone Ash Lad²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Simon Torrens| T: N C Kelly

200/1

Well held in Kilbeggan bumper and novice hurdle here.

Form: 70

Orderly Conduct²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell

9/2

Encouraging start in bumpers, again looking ready for longer trips here 3 weeks ago. Likely to need the emphasis more on stamina ideally now jumping but this isn't a strong maiden and the yard had the 1-2 last season.

Form: 633

Poets Rambler¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade

12/1

Well held in Kilbeggan bumper on debut in April. Could do better now hurdling (related to high-class hurdler Iktitaf from home-bred family the yard know well).

Form: 0-

Santa Paula²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 97

22/1

Third in a couple of maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan and this track in the summer but finished down the field at Ballinrobe last time. Probably wants a stiffer test.

Form: 7/F0330

Mystic Rose¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoin Walsh| T: P Magee

33/1

Maiden staying handicapper at a modest level on the Flat and well beaten again on a belated second try hurdling at Roscommon recently.

Form: 0-6

Thats It Ruby⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: James Smith⁽³⁾| T: Ian Donoghue

100/1

Bred to stay well and has looked one for the longer term in Navan bumper and 2½m novice hurdle at Fairyhouse.

Form: 78

Forecasts

Euro Agent (4/7), Marine Tycoon (4/1), Orderly Conduct (9/2), Poets Rambler (12/1), Cap Bernat (18/1), Santa Paula (22/1), Mystic Rose (33/1), Thats It Ruby (100/1), Lone Ash Lad (200/1)

A good opening for EURO AGENT, who has run well twice in similar events here this season and did little wrong again at Gowran last week. Orderly Conduct might be the danger on his hurdles debut.
