Verdict

Bialystok went for €160,000 at the sales after winning three times on the Flat around minor courses in France in 2020/21. He'll know his job but has no fancy entries. Sa Fureur showed up quite well in bumpers before a very promising hurdling debut behind Maidenstreetprince at Limerick where he was conceding 5lb. Normal progress can see him in the frame though Sunchart is a very interesting newcomer. He's rated 103 on the Flat after beaten a short-head in a Naas Listed contest on heavy ground in November. BELLE THE LIONESS won a Cork bumper and has been beaten by smart performers in her two starts over timber, the latest in a Listed race at Thurles, form that looks good enough for this.
