Verdict
TELL US MORE won a point-to-point, a bumper and a maiden hurdle before a narrow defeat by McKinley in a Grade 1 at Naas a year ago. He made his debut over fences at Leopardstown last month but didn't jump with any fluency and could only stay on at one pace from the last. He'll improve for the experience but will need to against Marinero, who ran very well behind Bonny Kate at Fairyhouse in November but might just be suited by further. The five-year-old Back Door Johnny easily won a point at Tattersalls Park last month and has bags of potential while Mount Gunnery had a run over fences when trained in the UK. Busty Brown won a Grade 2 over hurdles but that was back in 2012.
