Verdict
OSCARS JOY has a decent jumping pedigree and was clearly expected on his racecourse debut in a Limerick bumper, winning without seriously coming off the bridle. He looks to have future and can make a winning start to his hurdles career. Thewesthowaya is probably the pick of those with previous experience over timber on a couple of placed efforts last year but winning pointer Made You Look probably has a bit of scope and Sweet Maria ran her best race so far last time in a Tramore bumper won by Dani Catalonia, who runs earlier in the card.
