A poor quality nursery in which Dreams Delivered, a winner at Fairyhouse in September, looks to have as good a chance as any after a couple of decent runs here. However, his stable companion BROKERS TIP looks to have more scope and his two recent runs here just about give him the edge. Vazzy didn't show much in maidens but did much better when tackling a heavy-ground nursery at Galway and has to be a threat if handling the surface. Mass Gathering won a Naas claimer in September and found the going too testing in that latter race at Galway.
