KING WILLIAM RUFUS shaped with plenty of promise in a trio of bumpers last season and appeals as the type to take well to hurdling, so he's put forward as the answer. Idy Wood enjoyed the run of the race when winning his sole outing in bumpers in February, but was quite an expensive 4-y-o who should have a future jumping, while Iolaos du Mou and Duhallow Tommy are others to consider in an interesting early-season novice.
