Winning point-to-pointer Tuscon Train looks the pick of those with experience under Rules having finished second at Leopardstown though he was beaten 10 lengths. Durragh is by Camelot out of a sprint-bred mare so she may find conditions against her though her allowances should help but the vote goes to THREE STRIPE LIFE. Gordon Elliott's charge has a conventional pedigree for bumpers/jumping being a half-brother to three winning hurdlers including the in-form Ballyshannon Rose. Winning point-to-pointer Recite A Prayer started favourite for his bumper debut at Punchestown and is probably capable of better than he showed there.
