Verdict

It was a valuable bumper in which BOEDIC was a promising fourth of 17 on debut at Fairyhouse during the spring and he is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. The main danger will likely be posed by Zeus Power, who was placed both starts in bumpers and also shaped well starting out over hurdles here last month. Premier Rogue showed ability in a trio of bumpers and he is worth a second look, too.

  1. BOEDIC (FR)
  2. ZEUS POWER (GER)
  3. PREMIER ROGUE (IRE)
