FormscanBy Gary Carson - TULLYHILL can atone for his short price defeat on his hurdling debut. The Martaline gelding was runner-up to A Dream To Share in the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown and went to post a 1/8 shot on his first outing over timber at Punchestown in late November. He weakened tamely before the last then when beaten a long way by Shannon Royale. A lot of the yard's runner were improving for an outing at that time and he should leave the run behind. Point-to-point winner Undeniable Alibi was turned over at a short price in a Fairyhouse bumper last month. He may improve for going hurdling now and could get closer. Stoneyford Lady, a half-sister to Captain Guinness, is an interesting newcomer for Henry de Bromhead and market support would be significant.
