Verdict
Five Helmets was a decent performer on the Flat in the UK, winning four times. He could be interesting if taking to jumping while bumper winner Gaspard Du Seuil has hurdling experience, finishing a close-up third at Punchestown at the end of last month when starting joint favourite. HOMME D’UN SOIR has also won a bumper so is another carrying a penalty but he is built to carry big weights and can make a winning reappearance for a yard that has clicked smoothly into gear. Pictures Of Home finished ahead of Womalko at Gowran in March but both were well beaten.
