Chris's Dream, a winner between the flags, made a bold bid to make all at Clonmel on his hurdles debut and was only run out of it close home. Great Khan was placed in his first five starts over hurdles and may have been feeling the effects when beaten a long way at Tipperary in July. Judgement Day began his career winning a point then finished runner-up in all three bumper runs before a promising hurdling debut at Naas. Stowaway Forever will need to improve but Glebe Girl may have made a successful debut over timber at Cork but for errors at the last two flights. The four-year-old LAURINA ran twice in France where she showed enough potential to suggest she could be good enough to make a successful debut for Willie Mullins with her lowly weight.
