HIGH DEFINITION achieved a Flat rating of 117 having won a Group 2 and been placed in two Group 1's for Aidan O'Brien. Now with Joseph, he can make a successful hurdling debut. It's almost a year to the day when Privilege had his last run, an excellent second to the smart Icare Allen here, and he should make progress this winter. Foxfire Glow is one of five engaged for J P McManus and Mark Walsh takes the ride. He was on board when he made his debut for the yard at Down Royal where he started long odds-on but could only finish third. Better is expected here while the well-regarded Parmenion, who went or €230,000 after scoring on the Flat in the French Provinces in June last year, represents Willie Mullins along with Diverge, a winner at Longchamp the same month. Jetara has won two bumpers, the latest a Listed race at Navan while Chiefs Kingdom made a promising start at Thurles.
