Kolumbus, a half-brother to six winners, improved with each run in bumpers and has the pedigree to be a smart jumper as does Woods Well. The latter has the advantage of a recent run having won a bumper in great style at Thurles last month. Black Ace hasn't done much wrong since landing a Kilbeggan bumper in May, though he was beaten when long odds-on and tackling a longer trip at Kilbeggan in August. Dual bumper winner DR MIKEY made a bold attempt to concede Sunni May 7lb here last month and was only caught close home after attempting to make all. He's taken to go one better as Sizinguptheamazon should do better when tackling further.
