From an in-form yard, Art Of America attracted plenty of support on his handicap debut at Navan last week but appeared to find 1m2f taxing his stamina so this could prove his trip and he remains lowly rated. Sebastiano Ricci also hails from a yard going well and he'll have come on a bundle for his reappearance at Naas, as will his stablemate Lady Godiva for a recent run at Dundalk. Dawn Hoofer has shown enough potential to be considered on her handicap bow while Jessica Harrington should soon get a race out of the former UK-trained Dance Emperor. VINNIE'S WISH beat Bronze Age into fifth at Naas in November and though the latter is a few pounds better off the winner has the scope to do better this campaign and can return with a victory. Triple Sec scored on testing ground at Tipperary in September and could prove best of the remainder.
