A big field and several potentially smart recruits though BLUE SARI is likely to be all the rage. An easy bumper winner at Gowran, he was only half-a-length behind Envoi Allen in the championship bumper at Cheltenham, form that could take him to the top of the novice hurdle division this winter. Fakir, a winning bumper in France, will come on markedly for his hurdling debut at Cork while Friary Rock looked progressive when chasing home Cayd Boy on testing ground at Wexford. Fusain has experience over timber after a fair debut in France while The Bosses Oscar was impressive in a Thurles bumper last month and has quickly been sent over hurdles.
