Verdict
Andalusa has been gradually dropping in the ratings and has raced in better company but still looks a bit high. Duc D'Allier was highly tried after landing a novices' handicap at Fairyhouse but is fit from the Flat. Group 3-winning hurdler Cerberus has looked as though he needs further in his three starts over fences but EAGLE MOON has gradually been getting his act together and had few problems landing a Wexford handicap. He's up 6lb but looks the one to beat.
