Vittorio started off with an easy bumper victory at Roscommon in July but didn't enhance that success in her next two runs though her pedigree is all about jumping. Slippery Serpent took eight races to get off the mark in a bumper on this track but is another bred for jumping and could prove a nice staying prospect. HARDLINE (NAP) has run twice over hurdles, falling in both when holding every chance. He's won a bumper and a point-to-point and should do well this campaign so can get off the mark. Out Of The Loop made a very encouraging racecourse debut at Navan in April and is one to keep on the right side while Amarillo Rose has plenty of experience and has run well here in the past.
