Black Point Beginners Chase 2m 3f

Verdict

Day Dream Boy is a little old to be starting a career over fences but arrives in good form having won twice recently over hurdles. Hop In looked certain to win soon after a promising chasing debut at Thurles but never looked happy at Clonmel last month and finished well beaten. Winning point-to-pointer Ring Ben has shown promise over fences and should be ready to strike soon. HIGHBROW BLUE scored between the flags at year ago and has run into some very useful novices over timber. He hasn't been disgraced and should be even better over fences so is given the nod. Killtilane Rose ran well enough in her first two starts over fences to be sent into Grade 2 company but she never showed and has since been well beaten at Gowran.
