Verdict

Arklow Ger looks on a fair mark over fences, while Deal Done was in good form at this time a year ago but the handicapper may have hold of him at present. Conem, the only C&D winner in the field, is another who is looking a few pounds high and the latter was half-a-dozen lengths behind QUESTIONS ANSWERED at Limerick's Christmas fixture. Eric McNamara's young chaser looks the type to progress through the ranks as that was only his fourth start over fences and he gets the vote. Erritt Lake is another with little experience and was tired when falling at the last over 2m6f at Punchestown last time while Diophas has performed moderately in a couple of handicaps after his maiden chase success at Killarney. Paul Cashman should soon be winning races with UK import Idarah, who has had just two runs for new connections over trips too short.
