KING OF KINGSFIELD (NAP) will likely be a short price in this given he was an excellent third in the Champion Bumper at the Punchestown Festival on his final start last season. Solly Attwell, placed four times in points, is related to several winning jumpers but will stay further than this. Lazer Wolf, fourth at Downpatrick and Kilbeggan, may prove the pick of those with hurdling experience ahead of Harley Street, who has disappointed twice when well supported. Redstone may need this but is a half-brother to three winning jumpers and Gavin Cromwell’s stable can do little wrong at present.
