It's difficult to know what to make of Camelia De Cotte, a very easy maiden winner at Tramore last December before a moderate run in a Punchestown Listed contest in February. She could be on a fair mark while Benkei wasn't beaten far on the latter track in October after going up 16lb for a very easy victory at Roscommon. OUT OF THE LOOP won a Downpatrick maiden before tackling a very tough Down Royal handicap where he ran well enough to be handed the vote here as that was only his fourth start and there's plenty more to come. Our Boy Boru beat a huge field of maidens at Navan in September but has looked a few pounds high in subsequent handicaps.
