Winning bumper Badgerfort made a very encouraging debut over timber when runner-up to the useful Martello Tower and started long odds-on at Limerick next time but pulled much too hard and was soon beaten. He drops back in trip and can do better. Killiney Court had some decent form in the summer but disappointed here in October and has yet to prove himself on this sort of ground. Patsio has no problems with the conditions as he won a bumper in heavy going and has filled the minor spots over hurdles on similar ground though he may be suited by further. VELVET MAKER (NAP), a winning bumper in France, wasn't far behind Vautour and Lieutenant Colonel on his hurdling debut at Navan and though beaten when fancied in two subsequent starts has faced stiffer opposition than he's likely to meet here and should gain his first success for Tony Martin.
