THE PUNISHER overcame early interference on his debut to finish an encouraging second at Lisronagh prior to Christmas. Having proven himself in the testing underfoot conditions, he enters the race with the strongest form in the book. No Secrets Here overcame a bad mistake at the second last to still hold strong claims when coming down at the final fence at Tattersalls before Christmas. Providing he puts in a clear round here, he has to be fancied to go close. Hurricane Dylan, a promising third at Ballindenisk, is another to hold place claims.
