FormscanBy John O'Riordan - TINTARA can make a winning debut for Gordon Elliott. Runner-up in a point-to-point at Ballycrystal in January on her final start for previous connections, the form of that race has been well advertised by the third horse subsequently. A lightly raced daughter of Crystal Ocean, the five-year-old has the potential to be a bit better than the opposition she faces here. A winner of her only point-to-point start to date, Born Believing has to be respected on her track debut for Claire O'Connell. The latter has done well with similar types in the not too distant past. Dromahane point-to-point winner Wilton Mills Trier should also be capable of making her presence felt.
