Plenty of runners but EVERGREEN AND RED is likely to start a short-priced favourite after his second places at Navan and Naas, the latest when having a subsequent winner in third. Mephisto, a winner on the Flat, was a 200/1 chance on his hurdling bow at Thurles in November but belied his odds with a promising effort. The remainder with hurdling experience have shown little so Zoom Tiger, a winner at Wolverhampton for Andrew Balding, could reach a place on his debut over timber.
