BRAWLER, a winner on the Flat in France, was caught on the line by Bua Boy on his debut for Denis Hogan here last month and looks certain to make a bold bid to go one better. Fumet D'Oudairies attracted support on his bumper debut at Naas and made most until outpaced in the final furlong. He can go well while Miami Beach, who cost 350,000gns as a yearling, will be better for his debut at Navan in March. The latter's stable companion Wayfarer makes a quick reappearance after a reasonable debut at Down Royal on Sunday while Nibiru's placed effort behind Sir Erec in a huge field at Leopardstown in December suggested he would be winning soon but he's only had one run subsequently when well beaten on the Flat. Foveros was racing on the all-weather in France before landing a heavy-ground handicap at Longchamp in April. He's been off for over a year but that's rarely a problem for one from his yard and he's an obvious threat.
