Mig Des Taillons won three of his last five starts over hurdles at the backend of last year and has to be considered providing the ground doesn't turn testing. Ballinlough Gale pulled too hard when tackling an extended 1m2f at Dundalk but only weakened in the final furlong so this should prove ideal. Dewcup was in fine form over hurdles in the autumn, completing a double and placed in a Grade 2. His two runs on the Flat have been over 1m4f and he could find this on the short side. MEISHAR, runner-up to Horoscope in a big field at the Curragh last month, couldn't quite concede 8lb to the consistent Dedillon at Dundalk a week ago and can go one better. Il Pescatore hasn't been seen since his two-year-old days but is one to keep an eye on in the market while Sionnach Eile ran very well at Tipperary in September though is likely to need further.
