Winning bumper UTMOST ZEAL has fallen twice when fading after attempting to make all and also fell when well clear in a point-to-point so is hardly one to have faith in but this could be his day to gain his first success. Call Me Pj has some fair form on the Flat and is another with a bumper success to his credit though he didn't look completely at home in heavy ground at Leopardstown in December. Thatshowhedidit has shown potential in bumpers but Arbitrageur is a sprinter on the Flat so it's difficult to see him lasting out on this ground as he makes his hurdling debut.
