Aidan O'Brien is having an astonishing run with his bumper horses so a chance is taken with the newcomer AQUA TRAVERSE, who is related to a couple of useful winners including The Paparrazi Kid. Blue Owen showed potential last summer but hasn't run for a year and might just need this. Peregrine Run was very well supported on his bumper debut at Punchestown and gave notice of more to come but Wither Or Not may need a stiffer test of stamina. The four-year-old Man Of Conquest has shown some ability and Westerner Lady may do better now tackling quicker ground.
