Dance Partner³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss L Costello⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Rath

Feel Like Dancing gelding who showed nothing in a Wexford bumper on last month's debut.

Form: 0

Hoof And Hustle²³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Ella Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: N Dooly

Well held in a trio of bumpers.

Form: 0-80

Ifuknowuknow²⁴³

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

Shaped like a stayer in a pair of bumpers (for N. Madden) last winter, the latest in warm race at Leopardstown when behind subsequent Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler. Interesting on first run for new yard with slightly longer trip in his favour.

Form: 67-

Piper Street³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss P Elvin⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

Showed a bit when sixth of 14 in bumper (40/1) at Wexford (17f, good) on debut 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Probably one for the longer term, though.

Form: 6

The Old Brigade^h1²⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms E C Costello⁽⁷⁾| T: S Doyle

Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Kavanaghs Cross. Dam unraced sister to useful 23f hurdle winner Senor Lombardy. Pulled up both starts in points in late-2025. Wears hood.

Thranduil

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Killiney Court and fair hurdler Sean Mc. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (2m-2½m winner) Accordion Etoile. Has an attractive pedigree and market support would be noteworthy.

Ellenrode

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss C Butler⁽⁷⁾| T: Eric Larkin

Order of St George gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) My Immortal. Bred to stay well.

Bayswater Bloom^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss T Quail⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E McCutcheon

Found her progress coming to a halt when eighth of 18 in bumper at Galway (17f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on the up.

Form: 05-68

Blue Trix

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Beggars Rock, stays 3¼m. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 25f) Aces Four and fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Hell Cat Maggie. Outstanding yard going very well with its bumper horses.

Eleen Alana²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms N M Bradley⁽⁷⁾| T: E Griffin

Failed miserably to back up the form of her debut third when down the field in 18-runner bumper at Galway (17f, good to soft) 25 days ago.

Form: 30

Mirrorbelle

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Caragh Monaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: E D Delany

Marcel mare. Half-sister to winners abroad by Zebedee and Alhebayeb. Dam, maiden hurdler, 1½m winner on Flat.

Myluckymaker¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ms L A Byrne⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

Had bumped into one that's gone in again on final start for Adrian Murray and pretty much backed up that effort 5 months on when second of 12 in bumper at Tramore (17f, good) 10 days ago, keeping on after stumbling over 2f out. Sets the standard.

Form: 862-2

Melody D'Arc

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Alyse Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell

Walzertakt filly. Sister to French 17f hurdle winner Jazz d'Arc, and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Hartur d'Arc. Makes some appeal on paper for yard which also saddles Myluckymaker.

Not A Whisper⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss G Benson⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey

Elusive Pimpernel filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner Not Staying Long (19f-25f winner). Offered something to work on when fourth of 16 in 17f bumper at Cork on debut last month but is bred to come into her own over longer trips later on.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Blue Trix (13/8), Myluckymaker (9/4), Not A Whisper (7/1), Ifuknowuknow (10/1), Bayswater Bloom (10/1), Thranduil (12/1), Eleen Alana (16/1), Melody D'Arc (16/1), Piper Street (20/1), Mirrorbelle (25/1), Ellenrode (33/1), Hoof And Hustle (50/1), The Old Brigade (66/1), Dance Partner (150/1)

MYLUCKYMAKER was value for finishing further clear of the third on her recent yard debut having lost at least 1½ lengths when stumbling over 2f out, so she's worth another chance to open her account. Blue Trix is of obvious interest on debut for a top stable, while Ifuknowuknow contested a notably warm race at Leopardstown when last seen and shouldn't be taken lightly with his slightly longer trip in his favour. Thranduil is another debutant to note.
