Verdict

PROSPECTUS landed some nice bets when scoring at Dundalk last week and is just 1lb higher than when narrowly beaten over timber at Galway in October. He can complete a quick double though Icario finally got his head in front over hurdles at the 17th time of asking at Down Royal last month and should get into contention again. Great Khan followed a maiden success at Clonmel with a fine handicap debut at Leopardstown while R'evelyn Pleasure was left clear for a very easy maiden success on the former track and makes his handicap debut. Chatham Street Lad didn't seem anywhere near his best at Navan after a convincing victory on heavy going at Cork and can do better.
