A useful sort in bumpers, DR EGGMAN took a step forward from his hurdles debut effort when runner-up over this trip at Navan 32 days ago and with further progress likely, he can make it third time lucky in this sphere. Majestic Force, a winner of her only start in points is worth a look on her respective Rules debut. Big Stage and Practice Run complete the shortlist.
