Harbour Beacon produced a couple of fine runs over a mile on ground with some give at Navan. His stable has been going well so he should be ready for this while Shahroze should improve for the step-up to this distance after staying on over a mile here in November. SIR DANILO has had his chances though keeps running into decent performers and hasn't been disgraced so this could be his day. Detailed, a daughter of Motivator, will have found a mile too short here in December but battled on gamely and this is more her trip. Dermot Weld's newcomer Serval Cat is from the first crop of the Melbourne Cup winner Americain and out of a Storm Cat mare so the half-brother to three USA winners is one to keep an eye on.
