This shouldn't take much winning and successful point-to-pointer and bumper WIDE RECEIVER could outclass these. Runner-up to the smart Eric Bloodaxe at Leopardstown, he didn't look at his best in a Grade 2 bumper on the same track in February and can make a successful hurding debut. Valentina Lady beat a huge field of bumpers at Naas in November but disappointed on her reappearance over timber at Ballinrobe last month and will need to do better. Baptism Of Fire, a winner between the flags, didn't show much in two bumpers on heavy ground last winter but his pedigree is all about jumping.
