Verdict
Winning hurdler Ballykeel has been taking on decent company in her three starts over fences and found 3m too far at Thurles but three-times winning hurdler Capilano Bridge was beaten a long way on his chasing debut at Naas. JAMES DU BERLAIS, four times a winning hurdler in France including two Grade 3 contests and beaten a neck and a head in two Grade 1 races, finished runner-up to Klassical Dream in the Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown in April and makes his debut over fences. Mahler Mission, a Grade 2 winner over hurdles, would have had a stiff task in the 12.15 at Punchestown yesterday and would do better running here.
