Dramatic Event showed promise in bumpers and started favourite for his hurdling debut at Galway in October but made too many errors and couldn't get close enough. He wasn't beaten far at the finish and the longer trip is expected to aid his cause. COOLBANE WEST did enough when a close third behind Tongie over slightly shorter at Limerick to earn the vote as Arkwrisht has been very disappointing so far and was beaten a long way when fourth at Clonmel last month. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Justforjames has a penalty to carry on his hurdling debut.
