Verdict
Augustin landed a Thurles bumper last February but disappointed later, though his pedigree is all about jumping. Bosco Di Alco has also won a bumper and looked a certain future hurdles winner after a narrow defeat at Punchestown, though he hasn't done as well as expected subsequently. Dual point-to-point winner Cappacon hasn't run for over two years but his bumper form would give him a chance though this can go to MOSSBACK. Gordon Elliott's charge won a heavy ground bumper at Limerick in April and made a promising start over timber here three weeks ago when a close fifth in a huge field. Jetz is an interesting newcomer for Jessica Harrington as his dam is from the family of Jezki and other useful winners.
