Verdict

BECASSE was still travelling with plenty of purpose at the head of affairs when unseating 4 out at Killarney on his most recent start 23 days ago and, remaining with untapped potential in handicaps, he may well be up to defying top weight for his in-form yard. Wholelotofbusiness and Fast Felix are others with something to recommend them, as does Putapoundinthejar.

3	Progressive form in the autumn, landing a Killarney maiden prior to a fine second back in handicap company at Down Royal. Showed benefit of reappearance run when third back at Killarney 23 days ago and a repeat gives him claims again. 2nd Pick 3 Wholelotofbusiness (Ire) Jockey: G. B.

6	Produced a career-best display when scoring over C&D last summer and posted easily his best effort since (following 5 months off) when fourth at Killarney (17f) 23 days ago. The absence may have just told on him late on and fancied to be thereabouts. 3rd Pick 6 Fast Felix (Ire) Jockey: T. E. O'connor Trainer: Eoin Christopher Mccarthy, Ireland J: T. E.
