Persian Wind pops up every now and then but his victory at Fairyhouse in January came over 3m1f. Stamp Your Feet had dropped to a lowly mark when landing a moderate handicap at Roscommon but this isn't much better and a 6lb rise isn't insurmountable. THE CADDY ROSE (NAP) landed a beginners' chase at Navan in September and has been highly tried subsequently. This represents a significant drop in class from her last two runs and she can double her winning tally. Final List would have a chance on his second at Punchestown in January but finished lame next time and pulled up at Clonmel in February so has questions to answer. Quantatmental may prove best of the remainder.
