Oficial Ben was beaten a distance on his hurdling debut and stablemate Kamool has much to prove but Capilla, who has won a bumper here, should do better having been given time off to strengthen up after losing his way at the start of the year. Time For Bucks was second to the long odds-on Tiger Trek in a Thurles maiden last month. He was a 50/1 chance that day but will be a lot shorter here, though OSCARTEEA is preferred. He was 10th in the Champions Bumper in March and was a smart performer in NH Flat races - this is a natural progression.
