Family Business reverts to a bumper after a very good run over hurdles at Clonmel last month. DREAMINGANDHOPING made her debut in a Listed bumper at Navan and though well beaten by the impressive Bigbadandbeautiful had the remainder well strung out and that's the best form on view. Gordon Elliott, who trains the winner, is represented by Annieguire, who was well beaten in a Naas bumper last month. Etincelle Lioterie was very disappointing at Cork in March after a much better run at Gowran the previous month but Tucanae, a Dromahane point-to-point winner, had a run over hurdles at Punchestown last month.
