Verdict

Advantage Point made most to land a Punchestown bumper and has a jumper's pedigree but faces unexposed types with experience over timber. Hyperdrive won twice on the Flat and will have come on for last month's hurdling debut though he was beaten a long way into second. Triplicate, the winner of both starts on the Flat in 2016, wasn't fancied on his hurdling bow at Punchestown in November but ran well enough to suggest he'll be winning over hurdles before long. Manamite, a dual winner on the Flat in France, was beaten when odds-on for his hurdling bow at Cork in November then reportedly had a heart problem at Leopardstown a month later so he's best watched for the moment. His stable companion Silver Star could prove more of a threat as he had some smart form for Alan Fleming last summer. SUINDA is the second foal of a mare who produced a winner over hurdles with her first. She went into many notebooks as a future hurdles winner when landing a Clonmel bumper and can make a successful debut for the champion trainer.
