STARTING FIFTEEN shaped with plenty of promise when chasing home a useful-looking type (who had the benefit of previous experience) on his debut in a listed bumper at Limerick last month. Eric McNamara's charge is taken to go one better, perhaps at the chief expense of Eagle of Destiny, who also made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Thurles. Point winner Bud Fox is respected for last year's winning yard, while Barley Lane, Buddy Holly and Coutach are likely-looking newcomers.
