Verdict
Aso won a bumper in France on his debut and has shown enough over timber to suggest he'll win races in time. Beg To Differ cost €100,000 last year so is one to note in the betting while Got The Nac ran well in a huge field of maidens at Navan in March and looks a nice prospect. Isaac Bell had been making steady progress in Irish bumpers before an impressive victory at Cork in July. He's changed hands but should be ready for this and will take some beating. Philip Hobbs runs point-to-point winners He's A Bully and RISK A FINE and it's the latter who gets the vote for the in-form handler as he showed some promise in an Exeter bumper but was always likely to do better when sent over jumps.
