Verdict

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE did well to make a successful hurdling debut at Fairyhouse towards the end of November having been forced to overcome 2 serious bits of interference in the closing stages and, open to plenty of improvement, is fancied to take his record to 2 wins from as many starts in this sphere. Casheldale Lad and James's Gate are feared most but solid cases can be made for any of the 5.
