Not surprisingly many of these are jumpers including Mr Fiftyone, a winning bumper and hurdler who has scored twice over fences recently. ELUSIVE IVY has won twice over hurdles at Punchestown this year and with her allowance plus the assistance of Jamie Codd she gets the vote in a tricky contest. Don Vincenzo scored over fences at Punchestown in October and hasn't been beaten far in his three subsequent races on the Flat. Pictogram made a very encouraging debut at last year's Galway Festival and though beaten a long way on his reappearance at Tipperary the trip was much too short and this will be more to his liking.
