12:25 – Majestic Force
Quite a hot contest to start with. Karia Des Blaises ran a cracker on her chase debut at Cork, the step up in trip will suit and she looks the best of the Mullins trio. However, Henry de Bromhead is also well represented with potentially exciting recruit Lantry Lady. Preference is for the unexposed MAJESTIC FORCE, possibly unlucky on her debut at Cork with more improvement in her.
12:55 – Lazer Wolf
Not many make a lot of appeal here. Silver King should come on for his good run at Clonmel last month, while The Dara Man has been freshened up after winning at Kilbeggan in August. Despite a 12lb rise, this looks a good opportunity for LAZER WOLF to follow up a comfortable win at Clonmel last month.
13:25 – Inthepocket
Having had only one run last season INTHEPOCKET showed total authority in beating two subsequent winners on his reappearance and has the makings of a top 2m novice. He may have too much pace for Firefox, whose first two chase runs have been over 2m4f and Ile Atlantique who looks more of a staying type.
13:55 – The Yellow Clay
With three hurdle runs under his belt, THE YELLOW CLAY has a level of experience that could make all the difference, though he will need to be sharper than when scrambling home in a race in this grade at Navan. He was a convincing Grade 3 scorer on his second start and is given narrow preference over the Champion Bumper winner Jasmin De Vaux who was not especially fluent on his first attempt. Butch Cassidy makes most appeal of the remainder.
14:30 – Icare Daubrelle
A course bumper winner in 2022, ICARE D’AUBRELLE may reward the patience of connections who have run him only twice in the interim. He showed up well at Cork on his return and can take the measure of Joystick, whose 2023 bumper win suggests he may need further than this over hurdles. Coral River and Trasna Na Pairce and W B Easy have shown ability in bumpers. Banter In The Bar and Big Mike are potentially interesting on point-to-point form.
15:05 – Giant Haystacks (NAP)
No amount of dead wood here. Cases can be made for the consistent Krabat along with Miss Lia who should come on for her recent run at Fairyhouse. A confident selection goes to the progressive GIANT HAYSTACKS (nap) who faces a much less taxing task here than at Leopardstown last week.
15:40 – Light Up The Dark
Almost total guesswork involved here, although Through The Storm showed ability in a Hereford bumper a couple of weeks ago and the stable have won this race a couple of times. Test The Market commands respect, as does Chez Fred from a stable whose bumper newcomers are always respected. Preference is for LIGHT UP THE DARK, given the stable’s fantastic run of form over the Christmas period and indeed prior to that.
