MOYLISHA TIM was in fine form over timber at this time a year ago where he completed a double in a Grade 3 at Cork. He makes his debut over fences and looks a nice prospect so gets the nod to make a successful debut. Positive Approach also completed a hurdles double last winter as did Roman Gold, though the latter didn't run as well when facing heavy ground later. Woodford Island did well over hurdles but was always going to do better over fences and made a promising start at Listowel though his path was made easier when three rivals, including Undressed, fell.
