Lord De Beaufai was very inconsistent in bumpers and was a 50/1 chance on his debut over hurdles at Tipperary. But he ran reasonably well and should have come on for the experience. The remainder with a run over timber to their credit have shown nothing so this should go to COGRYHILL, a winner between the flags at Corbeagh House a year ago and of a Navan bumper in February. His stablemate The Storyteller has a fine pedigree for this job while Remember The Past has won a couple of point-to-points.
