FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A strong case can be made for a few of these. Cork bumper winner Another Choice is likely to be popular, with Paul Townend a significant jockey booking. Misty's Gift also claimed a Cork bumper last year and he too is a leading hope. The aforementioned duo start off over flights here, as do many others in this twenty-four runner contest. SALVADOR ZIGGY has some experience over flights to his name and gets the nod on his debut for Gordon Elliott. The winner of a Listowel bumper last September, he since performed with credit in good quality maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Naas respectively. Elliott is also represented by Footy's Bridge, Keepthefaithinme and Westcoastinformant, with the latter a solid ninth on debut in a twenty-three runner bumper. Noche Negra, who is a full-brother to the classy Nube Negra, Cocoplum and Free Handshake are other interesting contenders.
