Lily's Gem won a Carlisle bumper last April and was in touch for a long way when tackling 2m3f there on her hurdling debut. COSMO'S MOON was returning from almost a year off and having his first start for Noel Meade when runner-up to Cash Back at Thurles last week, when Ringo Kid was 26 lengths behind in fourth. Very few of these can be considered so he gets the vote though Roll Again has shown potential in bumpers and has a super jumping pedigree. Yendo was beaten a long way in a Punchestown bumper last month and may need more time.
