Dos Gardenias is penalised for winning two bumpers in France while DUNVEGAN also won two bumpers and has experience over hurdles having finished second to the subsequent Grade 2 winner Pallasator over this trip at Leopardstown. The latter gets the vote though Column Of Fire easily won a Navan bumper last month then started a short-priced favourite for his hurdling bow here where a couple of mistakes put paid to his chances. Mormon showed up well on his hurdling bow at Navan and will have come on a bundle for the run while School Boy Hours had the remainder well behind when runner-up at Naas and looks certain to get into contention. Pont Aven was beaten a long way in a bumper here in April while Swordsman was a disappointing favourite on his only start in a Leopardstown bumper in March.
