Cork maiden hurdle winner Battle It Out finished last on his chasing debut but was doing much better before taking a crashing fall two out at Punchestown. Triple bumper winner HUNTERS YARN won a Listed hurdle at Navan in February and ended the campaign a close second to a stablemate in a Grade 2 on this track. He can make a successful chasing debut though another from the yard, Polo Lounge, won a bumper and a maiden hurdle before pulling up in the Royal Bond here in December. Sa Fureur completed a hat-trick over timber when landing a Thurles Grade 3 and was in touch when falling three out on his debut over fences in the race won by Facile Vega at Navan.
