Unusually for a bumper, this has quite an open look to it, and a few can be given a chance. Vent D'Automne will be popular for a yard that do well in the events but a long absence between his two appearances (one in a point-to-point, one in a bumper) suggest he's either had issues or has needed plenty of time. Castlebrook would hold a leading chance on hurdles form and Valdieu may do better with the tongue tie on tonight, but an e/w chance is taken on SPEIRLING to upset the applecart. He travelled nicely on his debut at Punchestown in a race that's worked out well, and should have more to offer this season.
