An ordinary-looking bumper with a chance taken on BELLAHILL, who finished third on his only outing in points and has joined a yard more than capable of readying one in this sphere. Baymount had the benefit of an enterprising ride when third at Wexford a fortnight ago but still leads the way on form ahead of Hill Silver. In Around Thehouse is another Rules newcomer to monitor closely in the betting.
