Verdict

MR COSMOPOLITAN had been mainly disappointing before an excellent run behind I Like It A Lot at Thurles last month - if repeating that effort he should finally get off the mark over regulation fences. Stonehall Jack makes his debut over the bigger obstacles after scoring over hurdles at Wexford in October but he would probably prefer quicker ground. Deano scored over timber at Thurles in November but didn't go as well as expected when fancied at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day, though he looks the type to make a chaser. Willow Grange hasn't run since falling at Ballinrobe last April and may need the run.
