Verdict

A big-field handicap and a case can be made for several, but GIVEHERTILXMAS has been in fine form at Roscommon and gets the vote to open her account under Colin Keane. Blues Emperor is on a dangerous mark and can back up his latest effort, with Moyassr taken to see out the places. Naoi and Phoenix Pairc are others to consider.
