Nearly Man has shown enough in a couple of starts to suggest he can land an ordinary bumper and Home For Puck is worth a market check on this first start after an absence of over 400 days. Shelcomeonfordrun has shown some ability in the pointing sphere but we'll take the obvious Irish bumper route and row in with the newcomer JOLUCY. Willie Mullins' mare is having a first run at the age of six but she's certainly bred for the job as a daughter of King's Theatre and hopefully the market will speak strongly of her chances. Last One was better last time and is an outside each-way shout.
