Elusive Rebeldom showed plenty of potential in bumpers and this was always likely to be his game. Fag An Bealach didn't run very well at Cork after a decent opening effort but Hill Of Truth showed enough in bumpers to suggest she can make a hurdler. TECUMSEH SHERMAN landed a Downpatrick bumper in September and was there for a long way before weakening when making his hurdling bow over 2m6f at Down Royal. That should have put the edge on him and he can beat these moderate rivals. Exciting Oscar looks best of the remainder.
