SHES TENSIXTYSIX started favourite on her debut in a bumper at the Galway Festival and though having no answer to the front pair it was still a pleasing start and this is much less demanding. She should get off the mark though Andy Oliver's pair Drumgooland, who wasn't beaten far behind Railway Icon at Down Royal, and Jabus, who showed up for a long way in the same race, look dangers. Lord Lir showed his first sign of ability at Tramore last month but will need to improve again but Benevolent has joined Noel Meade after a fair point-to-point debut in October and is one to keep an eye on.
