Duhallow Tommy wasn’t disgraced on hurdling debut at Kempton where Iolaos Du Mou started favourite but was pulled up after blundering two out. The former is reunited with Tom Cannon for the first time since winning a bumper here in January. Idy Wood won a four-runner Newbury bumper the following month and A Tickatickatiming should improve on her fifth at Stratford. KING WILLIAM RUFUS and Corporal Jackjones both had solid form in bumpers and Chris Gordon’s charge can go close in this if fully primed. Clondaw Royale, second in a point last season, also warrants a mention.
