Bambino Fever
Last year's Champion Bumper heroine BAMBINO FEVER wasn't troubled when landing very short odds at Fairyhouse and with more improvement to come she ticks plenty of boxes. Oldschool Outlaw is the only horse to have beaten her and looks the biggest danger bidding to go 3-3 over hurdles. Kingston Queen was sent off favourite when third to Old Park Star here in December and stamped her class when taking a Grade 2 at Warwick subsequently. She could be in the mix in first-time cheekpieces.

Winner of all 4 starts in bumpers, notably Champion Bumper and Grade 1 at Punchestown. Beaten only by a race-fit Oldschool Outlaw when clear second on hurdles debut and landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Fairyhouse. Will leave that bare form well behind and looks the call.

Useful bumper winner who was an impressive scorer on hurdles debut at Listowel in September. Better form when runner-up twice in graded company since, latterly 5 lengths second in Future Champions Novice at Leopardstown.

Useful in bumpers and looked good prospect when winning first 2 starts over hurdles, latterly in listed company at Newbury in November.

Progressed well in bumpers last season and it's been a similar story over hurdles, no match for Old Park Star here before taking 19f Warwick Grade 2 (beat White Noise ¾ length) last month.

Bumper winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, benefiting from both a more fluent round of jumping and the step up in trip as she landed the odds at Punchestown (19f, heavy) 6 weeks ago.
