FormscanBy John O'Riordan - NOBLE BIRTH can make a winning stable debut for trainer Gavin Cromwell. Three times successful over hurdles for Eric McNamara, the seven-year-old is nicely treated off a 4lb lower chasing mark. Runner-up on his first start over fences in Killarney in August, the gelding was hampered by a faller when down the field at Galway after. Switched straight into handicap company after just the two runs, that decision can be rewarded. Hand Over Fist shouldn't be far away for the Henry De Bromhead yard. A winner over fences at Kilbeggan in August, the seven-year-old was still in front when falling two out at Downpatrick next time. Runner-up on her last two outings, Bella Bliss, should again be competitive for trainer John McConnell.
