Colcannon^h⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| T: N Meade

11/4

Took a while to find his feet but ended 2024/25 campaign firmly on the up, career best in a first-time hood when supplementing his Galway win in 9-runner Gr 2 bumper at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 9/2) 88 days ago by 1½ lengths from Sortudo.

Form: 532-11

Copacabana⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| T: W P Mullins| OR: 123

5/1

Looked potentially smart when a 5-length winner on debut at Navan in February. 9/2, 9¾ lengths tenth of 17 to Bambino Fever in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, good to soft) 49 days ago, looking short on experience for a race of that nature. Better expected.

Form: 10

Kalypso'chance⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| T: G Elliott| OR: 130| BF| CD

17/2

British point winner who looked smart when winning a Punchestown bumper and following up in listed company at Navan. Sent off 5/2 but could manage only 10 lengths eleventh of 17 to Bambino Fever in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, good to soft) 49 days ago.

Form: 1-110

Sunny South West^h³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| T: Edward F Power

66/1

Confirmed debut promise 15-runner bumper at Clonmel (16f, good to soft, 15/2) 34 days ago, pushed out. Very hard to make a case for at this level, though.

Form: P51

Bambino Fever⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| T: W P Mullins| OR: 130| C

11/8

Well backed 4/1 taking on the boys and ed the test when winning 17-runner Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, good to soft) 49 days ago by 1½ lengths from Heads Up. The one to beat.

Form: 1111

Switch From Diesel²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| T: R O'Sullivan

11/2

Two wins from 6 runs last season. Career best when winning 8-runner listed bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good, 3/1) 24 days ago by 6 lengths from Carrigmoornaspruce, travelling strongly. Looks more straightforward these days having garnered plenty of experience.

Forecasts

Bambino Fever (11/8), Colcannon (11/4), Copacabana (5/1), Switch From Diesel (11/2), Kalypso'chance (17/2), Classical Creek (16/1), Sunny South West (66/1)

Having outclassed the opposition against her own sex on first 2 starts, BAMBINO FEVER ed the test with flying colours in the Champion Bumper last month, nicely on top by the line. Colcannon is fresh for this and suddenly looks a much-improved model, so he's a huge threat, while Kalypso'chance will surely finish closer to the selection this time.
