Yielding (Hurdle/Chase); changed to Good to Yielding, Yielding in places after Race 4: Yielding, Good to Yielding in places (Cross Country) View all races

Formscan By Gary Carson - STARTING FIFTEEN made a very promising start when runner-up in a Listed bumper at Limerick last month and could take a bit of beating now. The City Light gelding chased home a smart sort in Light Up The Dark on debut and with the benefit of that run he can go one better. Eagle Of Destiny was a touch unlucky on his debut run when chasing home Tim Toe at Thurles last month and is another who could come forward from his initial effort. Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking for the Gordon Elliott-trained newcomer Coutach. The Blue Bresil gelding is a half-brother to two winners.
