VADALY made a successful debut in France and has been highly tried in both starts for Willie Mullins and starts out in handicaps in what could prove a very lenient mark. Celestial Horizon finished 14l behind the selection in a Grade 3 here in February then won a maiden at Naas in Good style. Marvel Fan, a winner at Gowran in November, just failed to catch the winner over the track and trip last time but Only Sky came good at the third times of asking at Cork and a mark of 111 looks manageable. Better Times Ahead looked one to follow when scoring at Naas and a 10lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
