In depth

Verdict

Atlantic Sea is consistent but thoroughly exposed and will probably find at least one too good again. LEAFCUTTER was tried in Listed company at Leopardstown in November so is obviously though capable of better and he can make a winning reappearance ahead of the Jim Bolger pair Feach Ar Agaidh and Solar Focus - the latter being the choice of Kevin Manning. Danish Duke has shown promise in both starts and the step up to 7f should suit on breeding.
