Hamundarson couldn't cope with Powerful Out in a Tramore bumper but was conceding a stone and the €120,000 half-brother to a bumper winner will know his job. Blue Lord has the pedigree of a staying chaser so should be suited by the conditions though this could be on the short side. Stable companion Glens Of Antrim is the third foal of a mare who has produced winners with her first two offspring. and should make a bold bid for a successful debut though JULIES STOWAWAY is the form pick. A winning bumper, he ran in the championship race at Cheltenham and reappeared with an encouraging run over hurdles at Galway.
