Verdict

Happaugue was in double-winning form early last year and, though shooting up the weights, continues to run well. Simon Torrens' claim is a real plus while Chateau Musar looks certain to attract support after his victory a fortnight ago, though he's been raised 7lb. BALLYCAINES was carrying a huge weight when just failing to make all over the track and trip two weeks ago. He was conceding the winner 13lb and Darragh O'Keeffe's claim can see him go one better. Gougane Barra has been raised 2lb for finishing third here in November but the lightly-raced Red Ball Of Fire was battling on over a mile last week and should be suited by the step-up. Merroir didn't get going until too late over the track and trip on Wednesday.
