Verdict
BIALYSTOK, three-times a winner on the Flat in France, made a fair debut for new connections in testing conditions at Punchestown then pulled too hard at Thurles. He should be spot-on for this and gets the nod though Sign From Above, a winner on the Flat in September, made a very encouraging start over hurdles behind the smart High Definition at Leopardstown. Winning bumper The Mediator didn't enjoy testing ground at Wexford while dual bumper winner Thecompanysergeant makes his hurdling debut after a very good third in a Cheltenham bumper. Innatendue, a dual bumper winner in France, could probably do better with some rain.
