Kildorrery beat the smart Duca De Thaix on his chasing debut but couldn't handle that rival in a very tough handicap at Fairyhouse last month, though didn't quite get the run of the race. Moon Over Germany has come up against a couple of useful winners in his two starts over fences and can probably go higher in the ratings as can MIND'S EYE. The latter has his sights lowered after racing in two Grade 1 events following his success at Wexford in October and Rachael Blackmore can steer him home. Nicky Richards sends Duke Of Navan from Cumbria and the veteran is a smart performer on his day, just failing to hold off Modus at Cheltenham in October, while Dakota Moirette ran his best race for some time at Fairyhouse last month. Tisamystery has been here twice and won both times so has to be on the short-list though he's up 9lb for his latest victory.
