Verdict

If bringing his Flat style of running to the jumping game we could see Daybreak Boy making the running here with possibly Turbine chasing in behind. Interesting newcomers Kirwans Lane and Castlebrook should be ready for hurdling debut and can make their presence felt but the field may have to play second fiddle to the expected improvement of SHADY OPERATOR who caught the eye on hurdling debut last month at Punchestown when second of 22 for powerful connections.
