FormscanBy Alan Magee - BOLD ENOUGH gets the vote. The son of Jeremy filled the runner-up spot behind the highly regarded Ballyadam in a Portrush point-to-point last autumn before being snapped up for 65,000 at Cheltenham and then shaped well on his debut under rules in a 21-runner Naas maiden hurdle. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was fourth to subsequent Grade 1 winner Asterion Forlonge and this looks a nice opportunity to open his account. The Shunter showed promise both in bumpers and over hurdles and, following a seven months break, now represents the Emmet Mullins yard. Gun Merchant, Ruinous, Goodbye Someday and Hesamanofhisword are others to consider.
