Chosen Mate won a point-to-point in October and made an impressive debut under Rules when comfortably beating a huge field of maidens at Fairyhouse. He has a penalty to carry as does PRINCE D'AUBRELLE, who completed a hat-trick of bumper victories before impressing on his hurdling bow at Tipperary in May. That was after a very long absence and he has another to overcome but he's obviously smart and can start making up for lost time. Tintangle has been placed in Grade 1 and 3 events after scrambling home in a Thurles maiden while Sinoria was always travelling nicely when easily landing a 2m4f Down Royal maiden and Rachael Blackmore will ensure there's no hanging around. La Sorelita was a disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse after a very promising debut for the yard in a Leopardstown Grade 2.
