Dam won over 7f as a 2-y-o and went to score over a mile as she gained in experience. But being by Nashwan, it's safe to assume she can also be an influence for stamina. However, this fellow has yet to really catch the imagination in two previous starts and comes here with a bit to prove.
Stoutly-bred, he has shaped with promise on a couple of occasions already. Today's firmer ground may help him better his lacklustre effort at Thurles when last seen out. But the absence since February is a bit of a concern.
Cost €25,000 and represents Bumper supremo Willie Mullins. This daughter of Big Bad Bod has plenty of Jumps winners in her pedigree and, as this is a modest event, she will not need to be anything special to get off the mark at the first time of asking.
Well held third over hurdles at Wexford last month suggests she has her limitations. Her previous form in Bumpers certainly backs up that theory and she makes limited appeal to round off the card on a high note.
Forecasts
Crumpledandcreased (10/11), Ken's Well (10/3), Thinkinginmysleep (4/1), Yes Pat (9/1), Another Day Done (16/1), Rockin Roxtown (50/1)
CRUMPLEDANDCREASED is bred to make an impact in this type of event and, given her trainer's noted ability at getting the best out of his runers in Bumpers, all the portents look good for her to make a winning debut. Ken's Well is the obvious danger, while Thinkinginmysleep is forwarded as the best of the rest.
