Verdict

SUPER JUNIOR was a decisive winner of his sole start between the flags during the autumn and is appealing on Rules debut for a yard that does well in bumpers (20% strike rate in recent seasons). He may well have most to fear from the well-bred Willie Mullins-trained newcomer, Glens Anthem, while Flying Ace is another representative from a powerful yard and merits consideration having showed ability in a maiden point in November.

5	Brother to useful 2½m hurdle winner Kalkbrenner, while his dam, who was pulled up sole start in points, is a sister to smart hurdler (probably stayed 19f) Quick Grabim. Clear-cut winner of a maiden point in December and he's of strong interest on Rules debut. 1st Pick 5 Super Junior (Ire) Jockey: Mr B. O'neill Trainer: Thomas Cooper, Ireland J: Mr B.

6	Harzand mare. Half-sister to bumper winners Shantou's Melody and Glens Lullaby.
