FormscanBy Michael Graham - TYRE KICKER brought up plenty of bets with a lovely round of jumping over Tramore's fences. That was a very promising chasing debut and there should be more to come. He won over 3m when hurdling, so this step up in trip shouldn't be an inconvenience. Lizrona won decisively over an extended 3m at Thurles in December. She was then well beaten in Limerick, but the ground was very attritional. She gets blinkers, Michael O'Sullivan claims 5lb and this ground won't be as testing, so she could bounce back. Ballyadam Destiny kept on well for second over shorter in Cork and certainly has claims. Joy Of Life was another chasing debutant to deliver, this time in Cork. This is a marked step up in trip for him. Made In The Woods came in runner-up in his last two starts albeit by very different distances (a neck and 12 lengths). Highstreetfashion disappointed in fourth behind Made In The Woods at Punchestown, but had won his two previous handicap chases.
