The short list for the bumper contains Kayf Keel, President Royal and Caliman, with the selection being Kayf Keel. Just looking at the breeding of these horses and we see that Big Secret is related to winners at up to 14 furlongs, Caliman is related to a winning hurdler, Jaunty is by Pivotal out of an 11-furlong winner, Kempley Green is related to winners, Sir Cozzie is related to the decent Corrib Eclipse, Wisteria Lane is related to winners, Kayf Keel is out of a half-sister to top-class hurdler Relkeel, and President Royal is trained by Philip Hobbs who has a good record in these types of event. Pick the bones out of that little lot then keep a close eye on the betting. Without the presumed benefit of that, we will side with Kayf Keel.
