KAROLINE BANBOU failed to justify strong support but produced a promising effort nevertheless when runner-up on yard/hurdles debut at Naas 5 weeks ago. Looking sure to improve with that under her belt, Willie Mullins' mare is fancied to go one place better, possibly at the chief expense of fellow promising Pour les Filles. Kir and Amber Point are another pair to note.

    Winning pointer who finished second of 7 in bumper at Fairyhouse on his Rules debut back in November. Flattered by his proximity to the winner on that occasion though, and the betting can likely prove a useful guide now starting out over hurdles for new stable.
