There are only five runners in this bumper but the form may still be worth following. Don Cantillon sent CLASSIC MOVE over the Punchestown to make his debut under Rules in April and he very nearly obliged having just got squeezed out close home. He's moved to Donald McCain and should gain compensation in this ahead of Rhapando, who was third at Huntingdon in April, and Secure Investment. The latter was fourth here on debut, also in April, while Ballybolley has been placed twice between the flags this year. Coozan George could have been found an easier race in which to debut but has plenty of stamina in his pedigree.
