Had an outstanding bumper campaign last season, winning all 5 starts, including championship events at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring. The one to beat.

Forecasts

A Dream To Share (8/11), Redemption Day (7/2), You Oughta Know (15/2), The Enabler (11/1), Jeroboam Machin (12/1), Joystick (18/1), The Yellow Clay (40/1), Hens Tooth (40/1), My Great Mate (50/1), Ayiko (125/1)

Verdict

It's hard to get away from A DREAM TO SHARE, who was the dominant force in bumpers last season. Willie Mullins has several candidates with Redemption Day and You Oughta Know particualrly respected.
