Verdict

GRAPHIC LEGACY had shown virtually nothing before heading to Punchestown last month where he produced a shock to beat the consistent Rock On Barney over this trip. He's gone up 7lb but with further progress likely he can complete a double. Come Dance With Me showed her first sign of ability when runner-up at Navan in September but didn't get far on her next start in November and hasn't run since. Tyrone Tiger looks a threat as he was challenging when falling at the last in this a year ago and continued in fine form throughout the spring. Backinthesaddle won here on Boxing Day but has been beaten a long way in his two latest starts while Canadian Steel has been racing over shorter and the point-to-point winner should be suited by stepping up in trip.
