Justified can justify lofty expectations

THE exciting Justified rates the nap to make a winning debut over fences in the Listed Total Events Rental Novice Chase at Punchestown this afternoon.

Dusty Sheehy's six-year-old was one of the best novice hurdlers in the country last season and promises to do even better at this game.

He won four times in all over flights, rounding off a fine campaign with success in a Grade Two at Fairyhouse in March.
