It's a long time since Tesseract ran and he makes his debut over fences but his form in bumpers and over hurdles entitles him to the greatest respect and he won't mind a battle. BLACK WARRIOR has won three times over hurdles and made a promising start over fences at Ballinrobe when staying on behind Rocky Court over a trip too short. That will have put him spot-on and he'll be difficult to beat. Everyday Everyhour showed plenty of potential in bumpers and scored over hurdles at Punchestown last June so he's one to watch despite a long absence. Triple hurdles winner L'attessa will have found the trip too short on his chasing debut at Roscommon and this looks more like his distance.
