FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GANAPATHI makes his Irish debut for leading connections and can win on jumps debut. He won on his only French start, in a 1m4f flat race at central racecourse Paray-Le-Monial last November and while absent since then, has since joined a yard who debut him at the 'correct' time of year for a novice hurdler, with GANAPATHI's French win also coming on heavy ground. Barney Stinson is an obvious danger having run well when second here three weeks ago (Loup De Tallane finished sxith). He was well fancied to win on debut in that ordinary enough looking contest and while the winner then was beaten at Gowran on Friday, Barney Stinson showed signs of greeness and can be expected to improve plenty from the run and should give the selection a race. Rajsalad was third in a 4yo maiden point-to-point for handler Benny Walsh last March and havign changes hands privately sicce, could go well on hurdles debut. Morph and Awesome Shirocco have shown bits of useful form and have place prospects. Oryx Hustler is a notable newcomer being a E54,000 3yo purchase and is out of a jumps mare whose half-sister was a Group 3 flat winner.
