Gordon Elliott has two entries with Dunboyne, a winner between the flags at Tattersalls Park in October, likely to prove better than Direct Fire at this stage as the latter ran poorly on his hurdling debut at Cork. Inviction made a promising debut in what was a reasonably strong bumper here a year ago. He has a fine pedigree for jumping being out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals to race. BOB OLINGER will be a warm order here and it isn't difficult to see why. Facile victories in a point and a bumper suggested he would be difficult to beat over timber but came up against champion bumper Ferny Hollow on his debut and was only beaten a length after being headed at the last.
