Verdict
Champella won a bumper here in June and makes her debut over timber but it's about time EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN was winning. Runner-up to Rotten Row in a Tramore maiden last time, the form was given a boost when the winner completed a double in a Kilbeggan handicap. Ace Aussie was rated 106 on the Flat at this time a year ago and is still on 93 so he's an obvious threat to all on his hurdling debut for new connections. Finnthemagician landed a Perth bumper and is another making his debut over timber.
