Verdict

DALLAS DES PICTONS, winner of a Grade B handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and runner-up in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, makes his chasing debut and could prove different class, though the market is likely to reflect that. Advantage Point beat a big field of maiden hurdlers at Naas and has always looked a potentially nice chaser while the consistent Trans Wood, a winner and eight times placed over timber, could be good enough to reach the frame again.
