Ballybollen

Age: 5
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: -

Nathaniel gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Mongibello. Plenty to like on paper and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.

Josh's Jury (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: -

Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c99/h92), 2m hurdle winner (stayed 21f), half-sister to useful French hurdle winner around 2m Hipsters. Showed a bit amidst greenness when eighth of 16 in bumper at Navan (2m, good to soft) on debut. Off 10 months.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type

Ealu Tapa (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: -

Getaway gelding. Dam (b76), ran twice in bumpers, sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Peregrine Run. Yard had success with this family and he shaped as if better for the run when ninth of 18 in bumper (11/2) at Punchestown (2m, good) on debut 45 days ago. May fare better.

Tommy's Ticket (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: -

Jet Away gelding who shaped with some promise when sixth of 14 in bumper at Kilbeggan (2m, good, 9/1) on debut last month, looking likely to finish closer before fading final 100 yds. Hood quickly applied and may do better.

Millers Point (Ire)

Age: 6

Srah (Ire)

Age: 6
Weight: 12st 0lbs

Timeform Verdict

Hardly a strong bumper so BALLYBOLLEN, who makes a fair amount appeal on paper, is selected to make a successful start to his career. Tommy's Ticket shaped a bit better than the finishing position suggests on his debut at Kilbeggan last month and may do better with that initial experience under his belt. Ealu Tapa hails from a family his yard knows well and is another who may step forward from his opening effort.
