The closing bumper on the card should be contested by ARAUCARIA, Mizzurka and Full of Spirit with the vote going to the first named. John Kiely is a dab hand with his bumper horses and won this event last year. Araucaria is by far and away the best bumper filly in Ireland, who has run this year. Her form tied in with some of the leading fancies for the Cheltenham bumper and now back in her own sex can take this event. Mizzurka lowered the colours of the fancied runner on her last start and should again confirm the placings with the Henderson runner. She has plenty of experience so the hustle and bustle of this big field should not inconvenience her. One at a huge price that we fancy is Full Of Spirit, Nicky Henderson's 'second' string. She is a very well bred, being out of brilliant race mare Spirit Leader. At 25-1 she is huge value but will do well to turn over the Irish raider.
