Verdict

Sulwaan won two out of three for Mark Johnston in 2009 and scored over hurdles at Sligo last July for Dermot Weld. He ran a shocker on his return to hurdling at Down Royal last month and may be vulnerable with his big weight. Comedic Art hasn't been seen for almost a year and fitness has to be taken on trust but she looked a very nice prospect when scoring at Galway and should go well. Tantalising's only success came over 1m4f and she may not have the pace for this but WARWICK AVENUE certainly has and he gets the vote. The Ballydoyle colt is out of the classy Dance Parade and is related to four winners. He's been making steady progress and could hardly have been more impressive in landing his maiden at the Curragh and has Group entries later in the season.
