Verdict

SECURITY BREACH has only run three times over fences, scoring at Listowel in 2014. He has a long absence to overcome but that's no problem for one of Willie Mullins' and he starts out in handicaps off what could prove a lenient mark. Aidan O'Brien has two entries and Carriganog would have a chance on his favourite ground if he gets his jumping together. King Leon is at the other end of the weights and he is no forlorn hope having been in excellent form in the autumn before jumping poorly on ground softer than he likes at Cork. Canaly hadn't won for over three years before his victory at Wexford where he'd dropped to a lowly mark. He's only 3lb higher so should get competitive along with Draycott Place, who has been racing over trips too short. The veteran Shamiran scored over hurdles last time and can race from a lower mark back over the bigger obstacles.
