A useful sort over hurdles, GRACCHUS DE BALME failed to complete on both starts over fences last term but there was definite promise on the first of those and he could well be worth siding with to get back on track in these calmer waters. Gentleman Joe, successful over hurdles at Clonmel last time, is feared on chase debut with Garrybello and Hope des Blins also expected to be on the premises.
