TURNANDGO joined Willie Mullins after easily landing a Lisronagh point-to-point in May and started long odds-on for his bumper debut over this track and trip in November. Beaten a short-head by Hawaii Five Nil in a race run at a crawl, he'll know much more this time around and can recoup losses. Sullane Chief ran a fine race over hurdles at Gowran in December so it's a surprise to see him running in a bumper while Stoney has also run reasonably well over timber. Indiana Oscar hasn't run for a year and has his first start for Jim Culloty but Drumloose showed a bit of potential at Thurles last month and will have benefited from the outing.
