Weseekhimhere easily won two bumpers last summer before placed in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November. CIEL D'AFRIQUE was narrowly beaten in his last three starts last year and was returning from a long break when runner-up at Galway last month, with Anner Castle almost three lengths behind in third. Dermot Weld's charge can finally get off the mark though Antumbra caught the eye at Navan back in May and the half-brother to four winners has the scope to do much better. Breffni Girl, a half-sister to four middle-distance winners, makes her belated debut.
