Selected odds by:
Career best when winning 9-runner bumper at Galway (16.4f, good to soft, 8/11) 98 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Others have achieved a bit more but he's worthy of respect.
|
Made it third time lucky in points in May. Third of 9 in bumper (40/1) at this course (20f, good) on 36 days ago.
|
2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win at Punchestown in October. 10/1, last of 5 in bumper at Navan (16f, good to soft) 48 days ago, not looking straightforward.
|
Off a year, 20/1, won 9-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft) 31 days ago, always holding on. This is a whole lot tougher.
|
Debut form worked out well and he won 11-runner C&D bumper (11/4) 37 days ago for new yard. They did the double in this event with Facile Vega 3 seasons back and he clearly demands respect.
|
£300,000 Jukebox Jury gelding from good family who won a point and then justified cramped odds without too much fuss in Navan bumper 8 weeks ago, making the running and readily going clear. More to come.
|
Just fourth in a point but lots to like about his Limerck (8/1) victory 5 weeks ago with him having looked a bit raw still, edging out a subsequent winner of Gordon Elliott's. Can improve. Player.
|
Expensive recruit after landing a point and he struck in good style in Fairyhouse bumper in December. That form took some knocks though, not least when he was well beaten at short odds in messy race here (Sortudo second) at Christmas despite being well placed.
|
Second in point and easy winner in bumper at Tramore in November. Didn't settle in messy race here over Christmas and suspect he can do better. Must be considered.

Forecasts
I Started A Joke (11/4), He Can't Dance (3/1), Green Splendour (4/1), Colcannon (9/2), Sortudo (13/2), Classical Creek (8/1), Koktail Brut (14/1), Friary Road (40/1), Good Deal (50/1), Coolberrin Hill (100/1)
Usually a bumper that produces stars and HE CAN'T DANCE could be the way to go after his runaway success at Navan. Willie Mullins sends out Green Splendour, who won the C&D bumper Facile Vega did before taking this in 2022, and he has obvious claims. I Started A Joke looked to be learning on the job when scoring at Limerick and has to be considered also with Sortudo.
