Big and backward in his younger days, he showed how he is improving on the job when battling to win last year's Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and that has turned out to be excellent form. ATR VERDICT: The Irish have dominated this race in recent years, winning six of the last seven Unsurprisingly, this huge son of Stowaway has gone to a different level again since switching to runnings, and the trophy could be going over the pond again, with BOB OLINGER fancied to land the fences, winning each of his three starts so far this season in impressive fashion, and there appears to spoils for Henry De Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore. This strapping son of Sholokhov looked pretty be no chinks in his armour. He jumps and travels with ease, isn't short of pace but has stamina in special when winning his sole bumper outing at Gowran 12 months ago and he has done little wrong abundance, clearly handles the track and is impossible to oppose in today's contest. Don't be surprised over hurdles since, building on a fine second behind last year's Champion Bumper scorer Ferny Hollow if he's lining up with a favourite's chance in next season's Gold Cup - he's that good. Eklat De Rire is a with two facile victories at Navan and Naas, the latter coming in Grade 1 company. The sky's the limit typically good jumper from the Henry De Bromhead stable and he looks the most likely front runner for this six-year-old at present and he is very much the one to beat this afternoon. Gaillard Du Mesnil here. If left alone and getting into a nice rhythm, he could be the one to finish second, while The Big arrives following a couple of impressive victories at Leopardstown but he's arguably taking on classier, Breakaway clearly has lots of ability but he hasn't looked a natural over fences by any means. faster types this time around, and Keskonrisk looks the one that's potentially overpriced.

© 2021 At The Races. All Rights Reserved. ATR VERDICT: Willie Mullins looks set to continue his fine record in the Champion Bumper, as this looks a match between KILCRUIT and Sir Gerhard. The former was just so impressive when winning a Grade 2 at Leopardstown last month and he created a deeper impression than that of his stable companion when he won in Listed company at Navan. Ramillies and Grangee make some each-way appeal and nine-length Navan scorer Three Stripe Life strengthens the Irish challenge.
