Verdict

HARA KIRI looks ideally bred to start out in a bumper before going hurdling and is difficult to oppose. Gavin Cromwell has booked Derek O'Connor for Perceval Legallois and his mount is a half-brother to a winning bumper. Old Soul is a half-brother to three decent winning jumpers while Jamie Codd's presence suggests Barnacullia could attract support.
