FormscanBy Michael Graham - Just under half the field are tackling fences for the first time. JUKE HILL (5) outran his odds in fourth on chasing debut at Wexford and the form received a healthy boost when the winner brought up his hat-trick in good style at the same track last week. Kasper Hauser is up in trip on chasing debut, but his chance has to be taken seriously as he was a ready winner over flights in Kilbeggan last month. Frankie's Freebie is a former point-to-point winner who has finished runner-up in no less than four maiden hurdles. He ought to be involved in the distribution of prize money. Coded Welder is another eyeing prize money.
