Verdict

Atlas had a few of these behind when successful at Leopardstown but Tanseeq was only beaten a length and Khafaaq started joint favourite that day and only weakened well inside the final furlong and both are better off at the weights. Eastern Racer is back in the form which saw him win at Thurles in the autumn but the step up in trip is an unknown for Fridtjof Nansen. The Mpex Kid was having only his fifth career start when successful at Fairyhouse but we’ll take a chance on SHE’S A BABE as she was finishing with a rattle at Bellewstown two runs ago before finding the company too hot last time at the Curragh.
