FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ROMEO COOLIO is the standout name and should prove hard to beat on his hurdling debut. Bought by current connections for a massive 420,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point at Belclare for Donnchadh Doyle, the Kayf Tara five-year-old finished second in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. He could only manage fifth when last seen in the Punchestown equivalent, but is in much calmer waters now. Grey Fable, Harry's Legacy and Viceregent have all won twice on the level, with the former gaining valuable experience over flights in recent starts. Fairyhouse third Cutthewire, Punchestown fourth Presenting Max and the long absent Ivybrook are others capable of making the frame.
