MIGUEL ANGEL is by Enrique, the sire of Champion Hurdler Binocular, out of a winning French jumper and looks to have been found a decent opportunity to make a successful debut. Winning point-to-pointer Lorenzo finished a long way last on his bumper debut though that was too bad to be true while Polymath, who had looked a likely future bumper winner after his first three starts, was tailed off at Cork in March. Slippery Serpent has been well beaten in both starts to date and should do better when tackling obstacles.
