Ted Hastings won a maiden point at Dromahane and started odds-on for his bumper debut at Navan but ran green and is certain to do better though this could be a decent bumper. Getaway Charlie was well supported at Thurles but found Gaelic Art too strong and the form hasn't worked out. Naughtinesse was narrowly beaten by a subsequent winner at Punchestown in May and her allowance is a bonus. Shakermaker is a half-brother to a couple of winners while Summer Melody is a full-brother to a winning bumper and Baby Bubbles has a Flat-based pedigree. Willie Mullins introduced several smart bumper winners over the holiday period and KLARC KENT, the first foal of a jumps winner, could be another.
