YAFORDADOE (NAP) completed a double when scoring here in October and looked in very good form when landing a maiden hurdle at Cork last week. He's on a fair mark and Andrew Slattery's claim is a bonus. Hightimeyouwon had been threatening to win for some time before landing a Naas maiden and doesn't look badly treated for his handicap debut. Mary Salome went a long way clear at Killarney but was reeled in right on the line by Raphael and will take some catching from just 1lb higher. Annexation made a successful debut for Henry De Bromhead over 7f at Gowran and made a bold bid to defy a 12lb rise when runner-up to the in-form Lady Scathach over this trip at Navan. Roving Mission has been unable to get his head in front in two runs over 1m2f on testing ground at Roscommon but retains the same mark and dropping in trip won't be a problem.
