Lizard Point is 0-25 though won't mind the ground and is back over his best trip. Excelli would have a chance on his second over a mile on heavy ground at Navan in October as he's 7lb lower but No Way Jack found an extra 7lb beyond him at Navan after scoring over a mile at Leopardstown. Scealai Aonair was having his first run since September and making his debut for Gordon Elliott when a close third over this trip on heavy going at Cork and, with that under his belt, he'll make a bold bid to get off the mark. Verse Of Love looked to be travelling well for much of the way over 1m5f at Navan but weakened in the closing stages so tonight's trip should bring out the best in him. COOL ARTIST's best run last year was on her reappearance a year ago. She showed little later so can run from an 8lb lower mark here and gets a speculative vote.
