Thomasgainsborough is bound to attract support after his victory at Leopardstown in October but there are others with realistic claims and he may be at restrictive odds. Piri Wango stayed on strongly to land a 6f maiden here in November and this looks more like his trip while Suehail returned to action with a victory over 7f here and is another certain to be suited by the extra. Caprella looked a potentially nice type on her debut here in October while Tiffilia wasn't disgraced in a tough Galway nursery after scoring at Naas. PRECIOUS DREAM reappeared after a very long break to land a 6f maiden here before scoring over 7f at Limerick. She hasn't been overburdened for her handicap debut and her guaranteed fitness can give her the edge.
