FormscanBy Donal Murphy - With race fitness on his side, BUNTING appears the safest option. The French import has a similar profile to stable companion Highwind, the selection in the previous contest. A winner on debut at Fontainebleau last year, the Tony Bloom-owned four-year-old followed up on his first start over flights at Limerick. Tried at the highest level in three outings since, he reverts to the level now and should appreciate this drop in class. The 106-rated Uxmal is the danger. The five-year-old won on his fifth start at Tramore in September and is clearly going in the right direction after he was since beaten by just a neck in Listed company at Saint-Cloud. Six-time winner Dads Lad and Enjoy The Dream, who won a Grade 2 over flights, are both returning from over a year off and are likely to need the run.

Quotes on Dads Lad (IRE)
he was always a very good work horse but was disappointing on the track. He has got his confidence now and chasing seems to have improved him. Brian (Hayes) gets on brilliant with him and for a cheap horse, he has now won five in a year. It's great as he handles soft ground as well. We might have the option of going back over hurdles from bottom weight and I was kicking myself we hadn't put him in the big handicap hurdle today. There might be another race like that for him at Listowel and he is very versatile.After Dads Lad (IRE) finished 1st at Killarney on Fri, 19th Aug 2022 2m 1f Hcap Chase Good

Quotes on Enjoy The Dream (GB)
We were running her hoping she might run into third or fourth,. After the third last I thought she was going to run a lovely race and when she straightened up I thought 'we're in with a big shout now'. She only had the one run over hurdles and I thought if we're going to lose our novice status at this time of year we may as well make it well worthwhile. She's a very happy filly, she can be very keen and she can do a lot of messing but she's quite relaxed behind it. She's just starting to settle down in herself and I think there could be more improvement to come from her. We don't get many shots to buy a horse with a chance to be a graded horse. Realistically she's the only one we've had that was in the price range that might end up in graded company so it's nice that it's worked out. She only had one run in Gowran which was actually quite an easy run because she got banged into early on and didn't have a hard race. That's the first race she's really had so we'll definitely go to Punchestown, I'll have a chat with the Dr (Andrew Heffernan) but I'd say we'll most likely go there. I'd imagine we'll even keep going after that. I think she has a rating around 90 on the Flat and she could also have the option of going to France for the summer. She has a brilliant pedigree and when we bought her the consignor was saying she was in the wrong sale as she'd make more money in the broodmare sale. It's all black-type and she has a residual value but we won't be going there for a while. SAfter Enjoy The Dream (GB) finished 1st at Fairyhouse on Mon, 10th Apr 2023 2m Hurdle Soft
