Point-to-point and bumper winner Lighthouse Warrier looks a nice prospect and his trainer excels with similar types. Caliption has won a point on heavy ground and staying will be his game as it will for Derrinross, who made a promising start over timber at Punchestown. MINELLA FAIR had been threatening to win a bumper before finally doing so at Limerick in December and the full-brother to top stayer Time For Rupert is handed the vote to make a successful start over timber. Miracle In Medinah won a Fairyhouse bumper in March and though eventually well beaten into third on his hurdling bow at Down Royal he showed up well for a long way and will have come on markedly for the experience.
