FAMOSO was sent off a big price at Wincanton last month but finished a creditable third behind stablemate and favourite Confirmation Bias. He also finished in front of the re-opposing Hope You Do and is taken to confirm running. The latter can figure again and is preferred to Blueberry Wine while Punchestown bumper winner Gordon's Jet has switched yards and is worth noting debuting over hurdles.
