Verdict
Rolling Maul won a couple of bumpers at Ffos Las at the start of summer by wide margins. He looks the type to thrive over hurdles. Champagne Rian was second in a Cork bumper in March and has bags of scope while the returning Jigsaw Puzzle may be one to note for future reference. Twice Returned was a fair fourth at Navan in February and has his first start for Dan Skelton but KILLALA QUAY is likely to take all the beating. Form a yard already in terrific form, the six-year-old won by 10 lengths at Aintree in June and the runner-up has rattled up a hat-trick since.
