8/11
Threw away a point-to-point when unseating in October and settled for second last month in a bumper at Thurles, big chance if building on that.

Remote third of nine in a bumper at Wexford last week over longer trip. Drops back now but needs a little bit more to envisage victory.

Encouragement taken from debut at Punchestown last month, beaten around 10L finishing fourth of six runners. Should improve for that outing.

Pleasing show in Leopardstown bumper in December over this trip, having run over hurdles once last summer. Room for better now and can be competitive.

Has appeared in six bumpers already, most recent of which was at Tramore in December and not without promise. Since made a disappointing debut over hurdles. Others preferred in this.

Forecasts

Back Bar (8/11), Banno (7/2), Catwalk King (13/2), Cluan Dara (8/1), Sticky Situation (16/1)

Verdict

BACK BAR found one too good on his maiden bumper outing at Thurles last month. With his trainer in such good form and some improvement likely, he looks to have sound claims of going one better here under his Cheltenham Festival-winning claimer. Catwalk King showed some promise too at Punchestown when starting in this sphere for the first tie and joins Banno and Cluan Dara in making sure it is likely to be a competitive finale.
