FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SUNDRENCHED was smart last season and will have been readied for this race for local connections. He beat useful types at Navan in September and ran a solid race when 19L behind Kilcruit in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown. Lieutenant Highway was unsuited by a crawling pace on Punchestown debut (in a hood) recently but will surely have a stronger pace. He finished well despite running green against useful horses and is open to plenty improvement. Jamie Codd, normally Gordon Elliott's first-choice bumper rider, rides newcomer The Mediator. By Maxios, the same sire as Triumph Hurdle winner Quilixios, The Mediator has flat breeding in his pedigree but is also a half-brother to a five-time jumps winner and was a E80,000 3yo store purchase. Oregon has more on his plate than when second on Perth bumper debut while stablemate Rhodia, by a flat sire, is out of an unraced half-sister to My Tent Or Yours. Castlenagree's dam won a point-to-point and has useful flat winners in her pedigree.
