FormscanBy Michael Graham - FERNY HOLLOW makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences. He took the scalp of Appreciate It in the Grade 1 bumper at the Cheltenham Festival last year and then beat Bob Olinger into second in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park just over a year ago. The rest of his season was wiped out due to injury, however, Willie Mullins gave a positive update on his training in a recent stable tour. Thedevilscoachman, a winner at Listed level over flights, makes this a more than interesting race as he starts out over the bigger obstacles. Coeur Sublime regularly competed at Grade 1 level over hurdles and could keep Ferny Hollow honest as he makes his debut over fences as well. Mica Malpic was a winner in his native France and faced a tough task when pitched into Grade 1 company on Irish debut at Punchestown in May. He is one to keep on the right side of going forward. You Raised Me Up is another with a shot at picking up a cheque.
