Master Of Verse landed a point at Dromahane in 2013 and was returning after almost a year when runner-up in a Punchestown bumper. He hasn't run since last January when a disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse and may have to give best to MOONMAN. Gordon Elliott's charge easily landed a point at Dromahane in October and ran well enough on his bumper debut at Musselburgh to suggest he can go one better. Mr Antonili made an encouraging start in a Thurles bumper last month and can only get better as can Grand Crusader, who also showed potential in that event.
