Coconut Man (G)
Telescope gelding who finished runner up only start in points and looked a useful staying prospect when going one better in a C&D bumper on Rules debut in November. No match for subsequent Champion bumper fifth Diamant Dore back here since…

Jardin De Tunis (G)
Changed hands for a large sum following success in a strong Irish point and despite still looking raw, he followed up on Rules debut in a C&D bumper in February. That experience won't have been wasted on him and respected with prospect of …

Old Habits (G)
Picked up for €40,000 after finishing third in an Irish point and he marked himself down as a good prospect when forging clear to land a Southwell bumper (15.8f) in December. Had a pair of next-time-out winners behind on that occasion and …

Skerry Hill (G)
FAV
Cost £205,000 after comfortably winning a small-field point and overcame inexperience to justify cramped odds on bumper debut at Down Royal (17f) in October. Likelihood of a more truly-run race here sure to see him in a better light and th…

Finisk Pride (G)
Point scorer who is bred to stay long distances so all the more encouraging he produced a promising debut second in a C&D bumper in January, unlucky to bump into one but beating the rest comprehensively. Longer trips are bound to suit when…

Kershaw (G)
Success Days gelding who was runner up in a point this time last year and some encouragement when keeping on fourth in a Down Royal bumper (17.2f) in December. Can likely do better but this a tough enough ask second time up.

Le Cold Grey (G)
€95,000 Cokoriko gelding who has showed fair form in finishing placed both starts in bumpers since the turn of the year, latterly when second at Wincanton (15f) 44 days ago, collared final 1f. This more demanding up in class but respected …

Brady Hartsfield (G)
Half-brother to French 11f winner Lionel de Mars and positive start to his career when going down narrowly on debut in a Punchestown bumper in February. Similar form when filling same spot at Limerick 4 weeks ago and this 4-y-o commands a …
