The mare SNAG LIST made a successful debut in a Gowran bumper last October then ran in two Listed events before the end of the year. She should have a bright future over jumps and gets the nod over Wishmoor. The latter won a Punchestown bumper in June but the form has worked out very poorly. Bilko finished runner-up in a bumper in France before making a very encouraging debut over timber at Punchestown where he was only headed close home after his rider dropped his whip. He should be winning soon but the remaining trio look to have plenty to find.
