Deburrafield, who made his debut under Rules behind stable companion Political Policy over hurdles last week and caught the eye, has his first start in a bumper. James Boru has completed a double between the flags though both victories were on ground with plenty of give. Mats Hall won a point in March and went well for a long way in a Bellewstown bumper last week so he'll be ready for this but the vote goes to PRESENT IN COURT, a winning point-to-pointer who was outpaced on his bumper debut over 2m at Kilbeggan before staying on at the finish.
