Mick Winters does very well with his point-to-pointers and bumpers and KNOCKNANUSS can continue the trend. A winner between the flags at Killeagh in January, he came up against a decent prospect when beaten by Jack The Wire in a Tipperary bumper but the slightly shorter trip and better ground will suit here. Peregrine Run ran a fine race behind Westerner Lady at Roscommon last week where he found 2m4f just sapping his stamina in the closing stages so he should make a bold bid and Bowenscourt stayed on under pressure at Clonmel in May, her first start since November. John Kiely's bumper horses are always worth noting so Oldfriendsarebest is one to keep an eye on.
