Verdict
SEPARATE WAYS, five times a winner on the Flat, made a pleasing hurdles debut behind Life Of Reilly under Ruby Walsh at Tipperary and, as there should be more to come, he gets the nod to complete an opening race double for his rider. Jacks Grey hadn't been showing much before a better effort behind Golan Guy over the C&D last month and has the scope to improve again. A Hit Is A Hit returned after a long break to run very well over timber at Punchestown before another good run on the Flat at Tramore. He's penalised for a bumper success but should still have enough to see off the likes of Native Palm and Shabra Charity, who are looking one-paced.
