Verdict
Jessica Harrington is strongly represented with Cycladic and Pappina. Preference is for the former who was always in the front line when just touched off over 1m5f at Leopardstown. Joseph O'Brien is also doubly represented with Rollet, who made a promising debut at Dundalk last month, and Monty's Way, who will come on a bundle for his run at Killarney. Seamie Heffernan chooses KEY TO THE KINGDOM over Lord Of The Manor for Ballydoyle. The son of Galileo is related to a host of winners and, though unraced since an eye-catching fourth on heavy ground at Naas in November, can start making up for lost time. Earl Of Tyrone, narrowly beaten in a Killarney handicap, looks best of the remainder.
