FormscanBy Michael Graham - BIALYSTOK was a beaten favourite in third on his track debut at Punchestown, however, that run looks better with hindsight. The winner followed up in a rated novice hurdle at Punchestown while the horse in sixth has since landed a handicap hurdle at Punchestown. Bialystok holds a Grade 1 entry in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Sunchart was six lengths behind Bialystok in fourth at Punchestown. He was well fancied for his hurdling debut, but was a little keen. Improvement should be forthcoming and Danny Mullins has been booked. Mon Coeur finished in a different parish to a possible Cheltenham contender in another maiden hurdle at Punchestown, but was best of the rest in second. He showed an aptitude for this game after being campaigned in bumpers. Razdan is more known on the Flat, but has been placed twice over flights in his career. Soldier Solid refused to race in a Down Royal bumper but, prior to that, was a never-nearer third in a Tramore maiden hurdle. A hood is tried.
