        Verdict

        The usual rules apply here as there is not much public form to go on, so it is worth checking which trainers do well in bumpers and it can pay to keep a close eye on the market, but the vote goes to BRACKLOON HIGH, over Keep Talking and Pure Anticipation. Noel Chance has to be respected with his runners in this sphere and it is worth noting that he won this race last year. This does not look a strong race and if the market vibes give the right signal then it could pay to take the hint. Keep Talking has shown a fair level of form in Ireland he ran a sound race last time considering he was returning from a seven-month break. Pure Anticipation is an interesting filly from a yard who are in decent form and she could go well on her racecourse bow. Mystic Minx was well beaten last time and it is hard to make a case for her. We will stick with Brackloon High as the pick.
