Nicely Presented hasn't shaped too badly in his two bumpers to date, but it will be a surprise if he is good enough to win this. Malaga Boy showed enough to suggest he could win an average bumper, but this could prove to be quite a hot little event with some of the bigger yards represented. Ramirez is from a yard that does well with it's bumper horses and he is one to consider as is Onwardsandupwards, who hails from the powerful Nicholls yard. However, the selection is Mister Magnum, who is the Pipe choice from three entries at the five day stage.
