Bold Frost won a maiden point back in April 2015 but makes his debut under Rules. Gagas Horse won a Limerick bumper on good ground but has disappointed in two starts over timber when well supported while Pass Hymn won a Wexford bumper in June but didn't show the expected improvement in a better race at Tipperary. Youghal By The Sea has progressed nicely since joining Gordon Elliott and battled on to land a Bellewstown bumper last month. He looks certain to make a hurdler but STRATUM can make a successful debut for Willie Mullins. A winner on the Flat for John Gosden, he's rated 92 in that sphere and has performed with credit in heavy going.
