JOYSTICK (8) represents top connections. Produced a good fourth in a 2m3f maiden hurdle last month at Punchestown. Open to further progress. Leading contender. TRASNA NA PAIRCE (18) ran well six weeks back when 1.5L runner-up contesting a 2m jumpers flat race at Fairyhouse. Makes for appeal. FAIRYLAND OPERA (21) indicated promise on seasonal debut finishing 5L third over 2m at this venue during November. Holds claims. ICARE D'AUBRELLE (7) might make the frame.
