Fell sole start in points/over hurdles prior to making a winning bumper debut in 8-runner event at Thurles (17f, heavy) in March (for Paul O'Flynn). Second of 10 in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival in April on first run for Gordon Elliott. The one to beat back hurdling.

Bumper winner who has shown ability on all 4 starts over hurdles, placing in maiden at Listowel (2m, good to soft) last time. Should be capable of even better based on bumper form.

Fairly useful 1m Flat winner but well held in 2 hurdles last winter. Unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.

Runner-up on completed start in points (May 2026). The betting should guide to expectations now hurdling.

Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Sa Majeste (2¼m-3m winner) and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Lost In Montmartre (2¼m-21f winner). Made frame only start in Irish points (May 2026). One to note on hurdle debut for leading yard.

£170,000 point recruit. Remote fifth on 3m Punchestown hurdle debut but different proposition dropped markedly in trip when second of 15 over 2m there 3 weeks ago. Should figure prominently again.

Verdict

The level of form BON BON FIZZ has achieved in bumpers since falling on his hurdle debut suggests he should be more than capable of winning a maiden and he can enhance Gordon Elliott's good record in this race. Punchestown runner-up Quest For Answers is second choice ahead of Noel Meade's Downpatrick third Poets Rambler. Henry de Bromhead point recruit Bishop of Rome needs checking out in the betting.
