Winning bumper Flying Light has been going well in maiden hurdles and has an obvious chance with Katie Walsh on board but Nina Carberry rode him to that success and she's been booked for DEFINITE CLASS. Dessie Hughes' mare has won her last two runs over fences in fine style and, as she's also a winning bumper, she should have enough pace for this. Sword Of Honour easily won a bumper last August and can't have been right when tailed off at Fairyhouse in April and though Raggletagglegypsy is a decent hurdler he's never won on the Flat or in bumpers.
