BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE was thrown in at the deep end making his Rules debut in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham, but acquitted himself well, so he's fancied to open his account in this lesser event. It's no doubt going to prove a strong novice however, and the Irish challenge from Fameaftertheglory should be a formidable one, while High Stakes isn't one to take lightly either.
