Verdict
The hurdling debut of INDEVAN has been long awaited. Willie Mullins' charge, a winner between the flags at Dromahane, was surprisingly beaten on his bumper debut and only scrambled home when odds-on at Gowran but he's always looked potentially useful over obstacles and this looks a good start. Alasty has a few pieces of smart form but has had enough chances while it's almost two years since Drumfire was seen though his overall form makes him a big threat if fit enough to do himself justice. Rossvoss is very consistent and perfectly capable of winning this at his best whilst both Raise The Beat and Some Article should be winning in this kind of grade soon.
