A winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding, VANISHING POINT (NAP) found only one too good at Cork on his hurdling bow and first start for Gordon Elliott. He’s preferred to stablemates Mistamel and Westinmare while Ornua makes more appeal then Henry De Bromhead’s other runner Probing on an earlier placed effort at Clonmel. Shalaman was a decent handicapper on the Flat but makes his hurdling bow while King's War was placed at Navan on a couple of occasions earlier this year and Howluckycanwebe finished third at the same track last time.
