Debuchet ran in Grade 1 races at Leopardstown, Cheltenham and Punchestown last season but is still seeking a first victory after failing to justify favouritism on his return from a break at Naas. It’s possible this step up in distance will see him shed his maiden tag but he may not offer much in the way of value. Final List appears the pick of the Gigginstown pair but is looking to end a frustrating sequence. He appeared suited by a step up to 2m4f last time at Punchestown but has another quarter-mile to cover here. Ificudiwud makes his hurdling debut but is a winner over 3m between the flags so stamina shouldn’t be an issue but WALK AWAY has also won a point and may have more scope. He cost current connections £130,000 and could have a bright future.
