Verdict

Winning bumper Ardla did better back on the Flat at Navan last time. Smoke And Mirrors had Monkstreet a couple of lengths behind when they occupied the minor spots at Fairyhouse but the latter looked more in need of the run and can reverse positions. Protagonist, three-times a winner on the Flat, won't need to be a world-beater to make a successful start over timber but winning point-to-pointer and bumper GRAND JURY is bred for chasing though should have the required pace to make a winning debut over hurdles.
