Bello Conti finished a close third on his debut at Fontainebleu in February and, though that form hasn't worked out, much more will be expected of him. Joshua Lane had superb form in bumpers but has disappointed so far over timber. He ran well behind Tycoon Prince on good going at Punchestown but poorly in testing conditions at Fairyhouse last month. MADFUNINTHEWEST was still in front when falling two out on his hurdling debut at Gowran in February. He had a couple of confidence-boosters in bumpers and reappeared to chase home the long odds-on Bleu Et Rouge on heavy going at Cork, form that looks good enough for this. Sizing Brisbane started a short-priced favourite for two bumpers in 2013 and this half-brother to Rule The World and seven other winners is one to keep an eye on as he makes his hurdling debut.
