PALLASATOR, a Group 2 winner on the Flat, hasn't quite lived up to expectations over hurdles and may struggle on today's testing ground though he'll be winning soon and his class can pull him through. Tara Dylan ran better than expected in a Grade 2 at Naas last time though she wouldn't want the going to ease any further nor would Jetez, who appeared to be on the upgrade before pulled up on testing ground at Thurles. Dunvegan won a strong Fairyhouse bumper on heavy going before pulled up when tackling Grade 2 company here and makes his hurdling debut.
