MASSEY'S WOOD made a very impressive debut when cutting out the running and readily drawing a long way clear of his rivals at Listowel this month to win a bumper. Having shown testing ground won't be an issue, he has to be greatly respected switching his attention to hurdles and looks set for a big run. The drop in distance should see former C&D runner-up Brave Poppy in a better light while Burren Life could be capable of better in this sphere having run well without registering in bumpers for Gordon Elliott.
