Mister Fizz made a winning start over hurdles at Ludlow in November. He beat a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion and that looks stronger form than Our Kaempfer's win at Market Rasen. But SUGAR BARON looks a more difficult opponent having dotted-up over 2m3f at Newbury on his hurdling bow and there looks plenty more to come from him stepping up in trip. Brod Na Heireann ran well at Leopardstown last time and has joined Alan King since while Port Melon's earlier placed effort behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Parlour Games also brings him into the equation.
