Verdict

Race conditions greatly favour ROBIN DES FORET, who hasn't won since 2018 but was still rated 149 when runner-up to the prolific Peregrine Run in a Grade 3 at Killarney last summer. He'll be conceding 1lb to recent Wexford winner Defi Bleu with Jordan Gainford's claim taken into account but is still 11lb better in with Denise Foster's charge. Line Out was in cracking form when last seen in September, scoring at Ballinrobe than making a winning handicap debut at Punchestown. John Kiely's horses have been in good form and the nine-year-old should get into the frame. The veteran Westerner Point has been superbly placed to win a dozen races and can never be dismissed though latest efforts haven't been up to scratch.
