Verdict

Not much to go on here but Willie Mullins remains the man to beat in bumpers and ROLLY BABY, who is related to several winners including a bumper, will attract plenty of support and is probably the one to be with. Dylan Ross made a promising start in a Punchestown bumper in April and is definitely the type to improve and though triple point-to-point winner He's A Delight will no doubt do better when faced with obstacles he could have enough pace to make his presence felt. The French-bred Vindsval is related to plenty of winners and is one for the future.
