Seeyouallincoppers had been running well over this trip until finding an extra three furlongs too far at Kilbeggan and Jack Kennedy's claim can help him run into a place. However, DEFINING YEAR was having just his fourth start over hurdles when an excellent third to Beckwith Star here on Monday and, though 5lb higher, this isn't as tough and he can gain compensation. Dollar And A Dream has been narrowly beaten into third in his last two starts and is probably still progressing while It's All An Act completed a quick double in October and is on a fair mark compared to his chase rating. Cristy's Call was engaged to run on the Flat here yesterday.
