FormscanBy Michael Graham - BREAK THE BOUNDARY could make an impact on his hurdling debut. He's a point-to-point winner (on decent ground) who made his track debut in a hunters chase at Cork where he was outgunned in second by a short-priced favourite who was formerly a classy sort. TheFlyingbee has some useful bumper form and could build upon a fifth place over flights in Fairyhouse. Confidential Gossip is a half-sister to a horse who has won twice over hurdles and this newcomer represents a strong stable in a weak race, while Kimjoy was far from disgraced in sixth on debut in a big field at Navan. The market expected Charlie Buckett to make a winning debut over hurdles at Thurles in January, but he disappointed in fifth. He has changed stables since then, so a watching brief may be best.
