Its All Guesswork has run very well in all three starts over fences though may do better when tackling further. Babbling Stream didn't show much in three starts over fences last year but has won twice over hurdles in the summer and deserves another crack at the bigger obstacles. Dis Donc won a maiden hurdle here in February but his pedigree shouts fences and he could be a nice prospect. The last remark also applies to TRAINWRECK, an impressive winner of a Leopardstown handicap hurdle in December before finding Samcro too strong in the Deloitte at Leopardstown. Henry De Bromhead's charge gets the vote in a race that should produce plenty of winners for the future.
