Verdict

Plenty of these enter the fray in good form including Alphabet, a maiden winner at Naas before a very good run in a Listed contest at Navan. Alfredo Arcano completed a sprint double at Dundalk and appeared to find 7f stretching his stamina at Limerick last time though the vote goes to ART NOUVELLE. Joseph O'Brien's charge, a course and distance winner in September, ran a fine race behind Peticoatgovernment at Cork a week ago and can go one better. Treaty Of Vienna makes his handicap debut after an impressive maiden victory on that same card while Red Sabor won a nursery here in August and a handicap over the minimum trip at Dundalk last month.
