Are You Bidding never really threatened on very testing ground at Fairyhouse and should do better in these conditions. SOUPHANOUVAN wasn't fancied on his debut at Thurles in October but made an eye-catching debut on fast ground - he looks a nice prospect and can get off the mark. Moonlit Theatre started off in a maiden hurdle when well beaten into second then ran in a strong Cork bumper a month ago. She'll be at her peak and should reach a place while Glacial Article has a very nice pedigree for jumping and is one to note.
