Race preview
As a half-brother to Grade 1 winning mare Ashroe Diamond, the eye is immediately drawn to MY GREAT MATE. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding is also related to Take Tea, a mare that made a hugely impressive racecourse debut in a Naas bumper for the same stable. It would be a surprise if the four-year-old wasn't well forward for this introduction. D'jo Dela Barriere represents a trainer that has traditionally done well in bumpers at this track over the years, so he has to enter calculations. The fact that Sam Curling has booked leading amateur Derek O'Connor suggests that a big performance is expected. Tail Gunner could be an interesting outsider given the fact he is a well related gelding hailing from a family that has already produced a fair share of winners under rules.
