SO YOUNG will never fulfil the enormous potential he showed in his early days but the Grade 2 winning hurdler should have a career over fences judged on his close second to Kansas City Chief at Thurles in March. He's been given a break and should return to winning ways. Rock On Fruity was nowhere near as good over hurdles but has the makings of a chaser judged on his three runs to date, including when falling two out when upsides the useful Lord Scoundrel at Limerick. Theos Well finished in front of him over hurdles at Cork in August and a couple of recent runs on the Flat will have put him straight for his chasing debut. Tiger Roll could provide a threat if taking to the bigger obstacles as he's a very smart hurdler who won the Triumph Hurdle back in 2014 and is young enough to make a success of his new career. Go Forty Go managed to win a Tramore maiden over timber but has always been biding his time before tackling fences.
