One of the best around in bumpers last season, FACT TO FILE shaped very well first time up in this sphere when finding only American Mike too strong at Navan last month and with improvement on the cards, he's fancied to go one better at the expense of stablemate Minella Cocooner, who has had his injury troubles but looked promising when last seen 13 months ago. Chasing-debutant Zanahiyr can fill out third spot.
