Macnicholson is undoubtedly the pick of those with experience having produced a fine run behind Moyle Park in a strong bumper at the Punchestown Festival. Further progress will see him difficult to beat though this can go to Willie Mullins' newcomer TIRAULI. She's not bred on normal bumper lines, being out of a mare who won a Listed race as a two-year-old, but she should have more pace than most and can make a winning start. Dermot Weld's Wandering Star is a half-sister to the very useful Unaccompanied and would have to be a threat if getting a run from her reserve spot while Rock On Bach hails from a yard who do well in this sphere and is a half-brother to a winning bumper.
