In the bumper that ends proceedings we are left with little choice due to lack of tangible form to go on but to side with the only animal with racecourse experience TOULAMAN while breeding recommends Latin America and Parazar. Although the selection has been solid enough in two runs so far the form lines have been a little weak since. However he has shown enough to suggest he can take a bumper of this standard and sometimes experience is more than enough. Latin America is closely related to a couple of flat winner in France. Both plied there trade over less than a mile so stamina could be an issue but he shouldn't be ignored. Parazar also has French winner in the family but also holds a bloodline with the useful jumper Kilbeggan Lad so the stamina issue shouldn't be a problem and neither should the ground. As ever with these watch the market carefully but before that information is available we go for Toulaman.
