Kendwar showed much improved form at Tipperary when stepped up in trip and should make further progress while So You Thought travelled well for much of the race at Leopardstown and only succumbed in the closing stages. The latter looks a nice prospect and will be difficult to beat but CLOISTERED is the form pick. Jessica Harrington's filly was conceding previous winner Trevanna 4lb when beaten a neck at Naas in October and looks the type to go on to better things this campaign. There are some interesting newcomers including Mabaady, who cost £100,000 and is out of a winning mare.
