Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has been successful in this sphere already this season and Draco is one to keep an eye on as he's bred to be a decent jumper. Harvey Logan is out of a mare from a very strong jumping family and has to be of interest for Noel Meade and Nina Carberry. GUNS AND MALT started favourite on his debut in what looked a strong Punchestown bumper won by Yes Sir Brian and though beaten he showed enough to suggest a race of this type is within his capabilities.
