FormscanBy John O'Riordan - THE GREAT UNKNOWN can make a winning start to her chasing career. A close up third on her sole point-to-point run, the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare showed up well in some decent maiden hurdles over the winter. Although failing to get competitive when sent off favourite on her recent handicap debut at Tramore, the five-year-old was entitled to need that first outing since April. Pictures Of Home, who has plenty of experience over fences, has to be of interest in first-time blinkers. The Ted Walsh-trained gelding is a strong stayer who will see out every yard of this trip. Roscommon second Fremantle Doctor is entitled to come on from that initial run over fences. The winner of that aforementioned race franked the form with two subsequent victories.
