Verdict
Dan Skelton's useful bumper scorer FORTUNE DE MER found the Champion Bumper a step too far but is fancied to make a winning start over hurdles at the chief expense of Olly Murphy's Kefir d'Oudairies who also brings winning bumper form and no shortage of potential to the table. Wild Goose rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and can claim minor honours.
