Champion Boy won twice on the Flat and was making steady progress in 2010. He didn't reappear until Monday and that should have blown away the cobwebs for today's hurdling debut. SWAMPFIRE was very unfortunate not to beat Run 'N' Jump at Cork as he made a bad mistake at the last. With a better round of jumping he can gain his first success and he has the beating of Ontheground on that latest run. Winning bumper Falcarragh is an interesting newcomer to timber but Knockeenonthedoor produced his best run to date on much quicker going.
