In depth
Verdict
Coastal World won a Lismore point-to-point last March and, though well beaten in a Fairyhouse bumper in November, will be expected to do better over timber. MYLESTOWN UPPER has a fine pedigree for jumping and is unlikely to have been suited by bumpers so gets the vote to make a successful debut over hurdles. However, his stable also run the newcomer Return To Base with Jack Kennedy on board so the son of Flemensfirth out of a useful staying hurdler is greatly respected. Hgranca De Thaix is another newcomer to note as he cost €85,000 and is a half-brother to no less than eight winners.
