Noel Meade looks to have found a nice opportunity for DALY TIGER to make a successful chasing debut. A winning bumper, he made most for a maiden hurdle success at Punchestown before running in the Future Champion Novices' Hurdle at Leopardstown. Ask And Answer won a 3m handicap hurdle here but made a mistake and pulled up when sent to Roscommon while Brogine, who completed a double over timber in May, has failed to finish in two out of three starts over fences. Pass Hymn was engaged in the 4.00 here yesterday
