BALLYGUNNER CASTLE did well to make a successful hurdling debut at Fairyhouse towards the end of November having been forced to overcome 2 serious bits of interference in the closing stages and, open to plenty of improvement, is fancied to take his record to 2 wins from as many starts in this sphere. Casheldale Lad and James's Gate are feared most but solid cases can be made for any of the 5.

    Verdict
    Confirmed hurdling debut promise when scoring at Tipperary in November and ran at least as well when second on 12 on handicap debut at Leopardstown (19.8f) 20 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Likely to give another good account.
