This rates the most competitive bumper of the season by far with no less than nine last-time winners in opposition. Willie Mullins is happy to pitch two unbeaten mares in against the boys with Patrick Mullins choosing Ashroe Diamond, who dotted up in a Wexford bumper. The form is not overly strong but the stylish manner of her win was evident. However, DANI BARCELONA also scored on her Clonmel debut with the minimum of fuss and may offer more value, having proved herself on forecast conditions whereas her stablemate's victory came on a very testing surface. Emmet Mullins fields a promising trio of recent winners of which Lahinch Three may prove best and Gris Majeur was another who scored in effortless fashion recently and is a danger to all under Jamie Codd.
