The form of the bumper ADAMANTLY CHOSEN landed on debut at Punchestown last spring is working out well, and he made a very promising start over hurdles when going down narrowly at Fairyhouse in November. Open to improvement, he is confidently expected to go one better here. Enki Flacke is clear second choice ahead of his stablemate/hurdles debutant Ebasari and bumper winner Barranco.
