FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Despite his relative inexperience, the Gordon Elliott-trained PUMA'S DREAM is taken to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Successful in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time, the form of that race has been nicely advertised subsequently. Although up against some established handicappers here, the five-year-old could be well treated, especially under his rider's claim. With the Henry De Bromhead stable now firing on all cylinders, Kir has to be a leading contender. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces, the six-year-old is likely to try make all. Connections of He's Home Again also reach for that same aid and, the former course and distance winner has to be respected.
