This is for point-to-pointers making their debuts under Rules. Bob Olinger won by 15 lengths at Turtulla in November and has plenty of winning bumpers in his pedigree. COQOLINO also won very easily at Ballindenisk in December and his dam won on the Flat in France so he should have enough pace for this. Katoune Tara was always travelling like a winner at Borris House in December and the mares' allowance should aid her cause on her debut for Willie Mullins. Elusive Star may prove best of the remainder.
