An ordinary bumper that can go to the potentially useful Beauchamp Gigi, who made an eye-catching debut when winning a similar contest in Ireland a couple of months ago. Border Bandit can be expected to be a little wiser as to what is required of him this time around and, along with I'm Your Man, Mr Lehman and Maybe She Will, is very much respected as a future prospect. However, Beauchamp Gigi could be yet another good catch for her owner Graham Wylie and she can confidently be expected to cope with her penalty at this stage. The daughter of Bob Back was highly regarded by her former trainer John Keily and looks to be one to keep on the right side of as her career unfolds from here.
