Verdict
ST STEPHENS GREEN could have the form for this if his close second to Heartbreak City at Galway is boosted by third-placed Mighty Concorde in the previous race. Emmett Mullins' winning bumper looks a nice prospect and this shouldn't prove too much of a problem. Blue Owen has shown potential in bumpers, though it's over a year since he last ran, and Chance It showed improved form when fourth at Galway despite starting at 100/1.
