Isleofhopendreams is making a belated debut over fences and fell over hurdles at Fairyhouse in March. Winning point-to-pointer Bringerofthedawn has only had three runs over fences and showed a lot more potential when runner-up at Thurles while Garri Rua, who completed a Listowel handicap double over hurdles in September, has run in better company subsequently. Il Fenomeno has had 53 starts and won eight times though never over fences so GOLDEN PLAN may be the best option after a bright start over the larger obstacles behind Grange Hall on heavy going at Sligo.
