Tower Bridge won two bumpers in the summer but ran a shocker on his hurdling bow at Down Royal last month and reverts back to the level. Dasmyhoss won a Tramore bumper in August though has disappointed subsequently but Financial Conduct was narrowly beaten in his first two starts here before making Play It Cool pull out the stops last month and should get into contention. American Hustle ran 19 times in the UK without winning and has had a change of scenery but the vote goes to BRUINNEALL, who was having her first start for over a year when fourth on soft ground at Naas a month ago and should be capable of making enough progress to land this.
