Three Is Company has changed stables since a convincing victory at Limerick for which he is 10lb higher. Uaintseenothingyet was just run out of it at Naas and could have done without a 2lb rise while Persian Wind is up 6lb for his narrow victory at Fairyhouse, though is still on a reasonable mark. The veteran FLEMENSTORM returned to form at Limerick in December and, with the track and ground conditions to his liking, can get back to winning ways. Castafiore Park went up 9lb for scoring at Down Royal and has been looking a few pounds high.
