HALLOWED STAR led early and turned a Grade B handicap hurdle into a procession at the Festival in July. He's been raised 12lb so it's no surprise to see him making his debut over fences. Indigo Breeze was tracking the smart Authorized Art on his chasing bow at Limerick when falling two out. He should go well if none the worse while winning point-to-pointer Watch House Cross started odds-on for his chasing debut at Kilbeggan but reportedly burst a blood vessel. Sit Down Lucy is another chasing first-timer having won the valuable Galway Tribes Handicap Hurdle at the Festival.
