Winning point-to-pointer and bumper CARAVATION made a very encouraging debut over timber at Naas when just failing to hold off Relegate after attempting to make all. She won't mind the quicker ground or longer trip and can go one better. Kingston Girl also has a bumper victory to her credit and she made a very promising hurdling debut when runner-up in a big field at Navan before finding Grade 3 company much too hot at Leopardstown. Tens Or Better was only 3l behind the selection in a Naas bumper and has subsequently won one at Punchestown so she's one to keep an eye on as she makes her hurdling bow. Strange Notions couldn't handle Listed company at Thurles though didn't run badly while Willie Mullins saddles hurdling newcomer Great White Shark, twice a winner on the Flat for James Fanshawe.
