This incredibly-endowed bumper probably should have attracted a stronger line-up though it's restricted to horses bought at Tattersalls Sales. RED JACK made a superb debut at Naas in January, beating Debuchet over two lengths. The runner-up then finished a close second in the Cheltenham bumper before easily landing a Limerick Listed contest so Noel Meade's charge looks very smart and will take all the beating. Us And Them couldn't handle High Tide at Leopardstown last month but will have learnt plenty while Gordon Elliott runs three with Jamie Codd on board the Ballinaboola points winner Dorydalis, a half-brother to a couple of bumper winners in France. Special Ted is related to three winners and will know his job.
