Cityofblindinlites
CITYOFBLINDINLITES was unlucky to bump into subsequent Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler on his debut at Leopardstown in December and, with the longer trip likely to be within range, he looks the one to beat. Premier Division was only 2¼ lengths behind the selection in the aforementioned race and must be taken seriously, while Largy Star and Ladbroke Grove are others to consider.

Vadamos gelding who showed plenty starting out in a hood and tongue strap combination when second to subsequent Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler at Leopardstown (2m) in December. Should stay this longer trip and has to be considered the one to beat.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown2mYieldingBumper2/12- 7HeldamJ: Mr P. W. MullinsT: W. P. Mullins, Ireland63-Age 59/29/25/1

€110,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related to useful 2m hurdle winner Sporting Glory, stays 25f, and half-brother to 2 winners, including useful chaser The Flier Begley. Runner-up on last of 3 starts in points and the market should offer up some clues ahead of this switch to Rules.- 3Colwyn BayJ: Miss P. ElvinT: P. J. Rothwell, Ireland3-Age 740/140/133/1

Didn't show a great deal on first 2 outings in bumpers but improved appreciably on hurdling debut form when runner-up in 18-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (2½m) on New Year's Day.
