Gold Sensation has shown a little promise in bumpers and can go well on her hurdling debut while Seaneen Mac Ri landed a bumper on this track in March after a less than successful career in point-to-points. Pretty Valira has only raced on fast ground once, when landing a Clonmel bumper almost two years ago, and she has run well enough over timber on occasions to merit respect. BACHELOR LAD made a winning racecourse debut in a Down Royal bumper in 2009 and has several decent runs over hurdles to his credit. He'll be better for a recent run at Fairyhouse and can take this with Flat winner Thistimesforgood another possible threat.
