Korean was engaged at Fairyhouse yesterday after a long absence. Red Memo was in the process of running his best race to date when falling at Tramore on New Year's Day and would have a chance in this poor contest if keeping his feet but Media Baron will probably need this after a long absence. Mount Welcome had a run on the Flat last week after a fair debut effort over fences previously but this should go to TEQUILA LORD. A C&D winner from a 5lb lower mark a year ago, he ran well behind Immediate Response here two weeks ago and holds fifth-placed Pretty Happy on that form.
