Verdict
Paul Nolan appears to have found a nice opportunity for FAR AWAY SO CLOSE to make a successful debut over fences. A winner over timber at Aintree in April, he wasn't beaten far in the Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown the following month and looks a classy recruit to the bigger obstacles. Yachvili pulled up on his chasing debut but did much better when runner-up to Leggy Lad at Sligo while Mayday Frontier has shown some promise over fences when managing to get round. Cloone Rocket has had his confidence boosted by a couple of runs over hurdles after a fair chasing effort at Galway while another chasing debutant, False Economy, is the type Mick Hourigan does so well with. Mouse Morris has a couple of lightly-raced types entered in Baily Green and Four Commanders and both should be noted for the future.
