In depth

Verdict

Several of these have been running over jumps including Cafe Con Leche, who has been chasing. He's top-rated here after a narrow defeat over a mile on heavy ground at Naas in November. Timemakesitfine had a run over timber at Fairyhouse last month but disappointed on the level last summer after a 7 lengths victory on the latter course in July. AFFABLE won a Newmarket handicap on soft ground for Ralph Beckett in August and will be better for last month's run on quicker going at Leopardstown so gets the nod. Double Martini, who started out with a victory at Navan for Paddy Twomey, went to the UK and scored twice but pulled up on his debut over hurdles for new connections at Cork in November. Nailed Down looks best of the remainder.
