Cliffside Park has had his jumping problems but has produced some good efforts when getting round safely. But he's still carrying a penalty for a bumper victory as is Supreme Vinnie while Ned's Indian has extra for scoring on the Flat. Catcheragain had looked a certain future winner when a close second on her hurdling bow at Down Royal but she then ran a shocker on softer ground at Listowel. Table Tips had plenty of chances in bumpers without winning and, though she's improved with each run over hurdles, she doesn't look one to have a lot of faith in. BOWENSCOURT is related to numerous winning jumpers and could hardly have been more impressive in winning a bumper here a month ago. She makes her hurdling debut and can make a successful start.
