COOLE CHARMER, Pilgrims Bay and Girly Girl are all converts from the point-to-point circuit and can fight out the finish of this bumper. Preference is for the first-named, who was in front and travelling best when falling at the last at Dromahane in December. He's joined Nicky Henderson, who will already have mapped out his future. Pilgrims Bay also fell when in front at the last at Askeaton in February and has a future while Girly Girl won at Belharbour last month and has her mare's allowance and Bridget Andrews' claim to help. Laughingalltheway has shown some ability while Prince Oscar may be the pick of the newcomers.
