Very little recent form to go on here. DALLAS COWBOY has moved back to Tony Martin from Gordon Elliott and lurks at the foot of the weights. His run on good going at Leopardstown in January suggests he can take this with conditions to suit. Smadynium was in fine form at the end of last year but seems to have lost his way while Turn Over Sivola, a once useful performer for Alan King, has shown nothing for Gordon Elliott though takes a drop in grade. Mitebeall Forluck is a specialist on this ground and is just 3lb higher than his last victory so has to be considered.
