Race preview
TRANSMISSION has point-to-point and hurdle form and is race-fit. He reappeared following a summer's break at Wexford and while well held in second, the winner is a fine type with the third, fourth and fifth-placed horses each having previously won bumpers. Sa Fureur was a promising third in a Fairyhouse bumper last November, with the dead-heating winners, fourth and seventh-placed horses all winning subsequently. It is encouraging to see him reappear in another bumper but he meets a race-fit selection. Six year old Diamboy Des Carres wasn't beaten far in a heavy-ground bumper last month but might bump into a few too strong, running in a first-time hood. Champagne Fame's bumper form is on good ground while Fine Margin ran well on reappearance at Thurles but needs to improve to win.
