FormscanBy Michael Graham - SANTO SOSPIR was green on debut in a Punchestown bumper in February, but really got his second win and ran on strongly to get up by a neck. He was a reserve for the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival which shows the standing he is held in by his stable. His half-brother was good enough to win a conditions' hurdle by six lengths on debut in France. Luker's Tipple holds a mark of 118 after taking the runner-up berth in five maiden hurdles. He sets the standard and receives a nice bit of weight from Santo Sospir. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Jasmine Pearl is worth checking for market strength.
A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at startingWeights - 11st 7lbs. Fillies allowed 7lbs.
