Most of the top bumper trainers are represented here including Philip Fenton, whose VALUE AT RISK looks the one to be on. He made a very encouraging debut behind Very Wood at Punchestown in April and the winner, who runs earlier in the day, has proved himself a very useful hurdler. The selection faces so many unknown quantities that he should go off a decent price. One of them is his own stablemate Volvalien, a half-brother to three winners, while Gordon Elliott has two entries. Sheemore Lad should do better over obstacles and the filly Bell Walks Day is a full sister to Time For Rupert and a half-sister to other winners. Noel Meade's Sunrae Shadow is owned and ridden by Nina Carberry and is one to keep an eye on while Willie Mullins' Sizing Venezuela will attract support being a half-brother to a winner.
