BALLYEARL was strong at the finish when landing a Tipperary juvenile hurdle in a first-time hood (retained here) last month and, with the promise of better come from this 4-y-o, he is taken to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winner Boston Rajj is feared most, while Dunkerque possesses potential and also enters calculations.
