22/1
Fairly useful hurdler. 11/10, didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner Joe Mac Novices' Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, good to soft) 56 days ago by ½ length from Sunchart, driven out. This is a different assignment.

7/2
Highly-promising sort. Smart winner at 14f on Flat. 40/1, well-beaten last of 9 to Kyprios in Long Distance Cup at Ascot (15.6f, soft) 43 days ago. Should have plenty more to offer over obstacles for Willie Mullins.

40/1, twenty third of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles having won a maiden at Sligo on opening run in August but this is a tough ask.

1/2
Runner-up in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and facile winner of 16-runner novice hurdle (2/13) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 29 days ago, hard held. Should significantly improve and he's a top prospect.

11/1
Useful on the Flat in Germany. Twelfth of 24 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f, soft, 5/1) on UK Flat debut 50 days ago. Well prepared to make a winning hurdles debut prior to that but this asks a different question.

12/1
Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in August. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Listowel (16f, soft) 65 days ago and he's likely to give it another good go, for all he acks the scope of a few.

33/1
Useful hurdler. 12/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 15 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. This distance therefore in his favour and he's a likeable type, but his limit is established.

Fair hurdler. 12/1, improved to win 21-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago, responding well. Plenty to find on form.

Forecasts

Romeo Coolio (1/2), Belloccio (7/2), Bleu De Vassy (4/1), Sea Of Sands (11/1), Tounsivator (12/1), Gaucher (22/1), Plontier (33/1), Zeeband (33/1), Cast A Spell (100/1)

13:35 Fairyhouse - 1 December 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ROMEO COOLIO did what he was entitled to when a facile winner on hurdles debut but this Champion-Bumper second is clearly a very smart prospect indeed, as his status at the head of the betting for the Supreme indicates. He can pass this test, probably at the chief expense of stablemate Bleu de Vassy, though Belloccio is open to lots of improvement in this sphere given his Flat ability.
