Verdict
Theturnofthesun didn't win over hurdles but there was plenty to like about his chasing debut at Gowran in March. Native Lass finished third on her only start over the bigger obstacles at Wexford but was beaten a long way. Mossy Island makes his chasing bow though does have a victory over timber to his credit while Finding Touch won over hurdles at Clonmel in September and had a couple of outings over fences later. JACK SLADE makes his chasing debut but the dual winning hurdler doesn't have much to beat and a run over timber here a fortnight ago will have put him spot-on.
