Although the Cheltenham Champion Bumper doesn't always work as well as you might hope the early impressions are that this year's will do and runner-up BLUE SARI who was having just his second start at the Festival is expected to make up into a top-drawer novice hurdler for Willie Mullins so he can kick-off the campaign with a win. Mullins' perennial rival Gordon Elliott runs The Bosses Oscar who won his only bumper impressively so he at this stage could be anything and is the most feared rival. Friary Rock who was second on hurdles bow is the best of those to run over obstacles under Rules although his stablemate French Dynamite would be even more interesting if running as a reserve.
