Didn't run at all badly in Gowran Park maiden hurdle last month. That was rules bow and switched to bumper now.

1/1
Been third in big fields over hurdles both starts thus far, also twice gone close in point-to-points and has clear claims for bumper switch.

Merits huge respect given connections, wears tongue strap for this racecourse debut and sure to be popular in the betting.

Two solid efforts over hurdles thus far, switches to bumpers for trainer in form, respected.

Flemensfirth gelding was a costly purchase and should be monitored closely in the market for support on debut.

Effort faded tamely at Leopardstown only bumper outing so far, should improve but will have to.

Only previous sighting was at this course in a bumper in September when beaten the best part of 40-lengths.

Not beaten all that far in Killarney bumper in May, off since and market can guide expectations this afternoon.

Forecasts

Arvico Bleu (1/1), Monkshood (9/4), Iolani (9/2), Reelingintheyears (14/1), Flirting Lesa (25/1), Ktelama (25/1), Loughnavalley (50/1), Chrisandra (50/1), Lindas Pelder (100/1)

Verdict

Iolani won't lack for support on debut for the Mullins team and must be greatly respected in this sphere but ARVICO BLEU may be able to put racecourse experience to best use. He's run well in big fields over hurdles and clearly has ability, with those runs behind him, he can make a winning start in bumpers. The other Gigginstown runner, Monkshood, is certainly not easily dismissed after also showing up well in two hurdles starts. Ktelama is one to watch in the betting after a layoff. 1. Arvico Bleu 2. Iolani 3. Monkshood
