Most progressive in bumpers, TRIPOLI FLYER made the most of a good opportunity when opening his account over hurdles at the second attempt at Market Rasen in November. Appealing as the type to rate significantly higher in this sphere, he can take this rise in class in his stride and follow up. Cloonainra is fancied to pose the chief threat following her good second in Grade 2 company at Haydock 2 weeks ago, with Clap of Thunder next best.
