In depth
Verdict
The market will be the best guide to this bumper but Sunset Showdown and Tossapenny are both winning pointers making their debut under Rules. West To The Bridge is a 50,000 euros half-brother to a winning hurdler and Tigger Two is a half-brother to three winning jumpers. Nocturnal Myth is the first foal of a winning hurdler/chaser and by top NH sire Midnight Legend but GOOD BOY BOBBY gets the vote. A half-brother to a winning bumper in Ireland, he cost 80,000 euros last year and is bred to have more speed than the majority of these.
