Sea Wolf scored here in June then beat a huge field on a return visit a month later and will be better for a very encouraging return at Naas in March. Round Two has performed with credit after landing a Limerick handicap on soft ground in October while the consistent Mizaah has the form to get involved, though he's never raced over a trip this far. KATIYMANN is progressing fast and had plenty in hand when landing a Leopardstown handicap last month. He's been raised 9lb but looks the type to go on to better things so gets the vote. Pat Smullen's presence on Fit For Function catches the eye and his mount was carrying a huge weight when caught close home at Wexford.
