    Verdict

    CERBERUS has won twice at Fairyhouse by wide margins since running better-fancied stablemate A Wave Of The Sea to a neck on his hurdling debut. He looks a smart juvenile and is just preferred to the unbeaten Allmankind, who had Nordano behind when landing a Grade 2 at Cheltenham. Tavus did very well to reel in a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Newcastle on his hurdles bow and could be anything while Elysian Flame, a useful stayer on the Flat, made late headway at Cheltenham earlier this month, will need to find plenty of improvement to get the better of some of these.
