One or two disappointing types here including useful hurdler Rocco's Hall, who is blinkered for the first time. Your Busy is another who has done nowhere near as well as expected after early promise while Winston Churchill has been looking one-paced over hurdles and fences recently. Winning point-to-pointer WITNESS BELLE has looked in need of a stiffer test of stamina in her races over timber and with that scenario likely here she can make a winning debut over regulation fences. Page One Two Nine is another to keep an eye on though the biggest threat could emerge in the shape of Coole Avenue, a winner over hurdles at Listowel last summer who fell when making his debut over fences at the Galway Festival last month.
