Verdict
Eleazar Des Neiges has been gradually improving and landed a 2m3f maiden at Limerick in very good style. He makes his handicap debut and should get into contention but ABRAHAM was impressive on his debut for Martin Brassil at Naas and, though hit with a massive 12lb rise, is expected to complete a double. Brawler went up 8lb for his victory at Fairyhouse and didn't perform as well at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but Macho Mover arrives in cracking form having won twice at Tramore this winter, though an 8lb rise for his latest success makes this tougher. Point-to-point and dual chase winner Crazyheart has never won over hurdles but is on a 12lb lower mark so shouldn't be dismissed.
