Bumper and point-to-pointer Dont Kick Nor Bite has been a disappointment over hurdles and fences, though she's generally raced in better company. Fintara won a Punchestown bumper in January and made a decent debut over timber, despite a few novicey mistakes, so she can improve while Khalessi has plenty of experience and has performed with credit in handicaps. MISS SAPPHIRE made a successful bumper debut at Limerick in December ,even though beaten a long way into third behind subsequent Cheltenham winner Fayonagh in a Fairyhouse Listed contest, and should now be ready for hurdling so gets the nod. Red Pearl has been consistent enough though may do better when sent over further.
