An intriguing contest in which Charles Byrnes' useful bumper scorer I STARTED A JOKE is taken to make a winning start over hurdles at the chief expense of Willie Mullins' Night Moon who can build appreciably on his hurdling debut seventh at Galway. Astelia also has the form to play a part, while I'll Sort That has the potential to make his mark too.

- NIGHT MOON (GER)
