The Gordon Elliott-trained FELIX DESJY should get favourite backers off to a winning start here on hurdling debut. The five-year-old was thought highly enough of to take his chance in the Cheltenham and Punchestown bumpers and can take the opener from likely dangers, the consistent Licklighter, the J P McManus-owned, Leave Your Mark and the Martin Brassil-trained Gigiplan Two Seven.
