PHILS CHOICE has been placed in her last four bumpers and can make a successful hurdling debut though very testing conditions would have to be a concern. Point-to-pointer Plain Or Battered probably needs much further but Hi Ski appeared to find 2m3f too far at Clonmel. Barry Connell's horses are always worth a look and Tony's Pet has a nice pedigree for jumping while Ballygriffin Girl is a half-sister to The Very Man. True Artist could be the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't handle the conditions as he ran a fine race behind an odds-on chance at Cork on Sunday.
