An unusually strong-looking beginners' event to start off the evening. TURBAN is certain to come in for support despite being beaten when odds-on for his chasing debut at Limerick in December. He's certain to improve for that experience and gets the nod as Darwins Fox was really disappointing at Fairyhouse the same month after a couple of promising opening efforts and may need a confidence-booster. Dul Ar An Ol is getting on in years but keeps on running well and produced his best effort so far over fences at Fairyhouse last week but Letter Of Credit is probably better over further, though the testing ground will aid his cause. Ballyadam Approach is another who looks more of a staying type and may find this on the short side.
