Verdict
Lisrose showed distinct signs of promise on her chasing debut at Kilbeggan last May and was made favourite on her reappearance at Tramore in October but ran poorly. She's better than that and has to be on the short-list though ZEKARYA may have her measure. His jumping was novicey when making his debut over fences at Tramore on New Year's Eve but he's been lightly raced and has enough scope for further progress to take this. Sir Harry Cash was behind in that latter race and looks held but Dazzlers Day is one to note on his debut over the bigger obstacles. Fernhurst Lad has had plenty of experience which could be put to good use in a race where much of the opposition is unexposed.
