Petit Dejeuner ploughed through the mud here last month to gain a comfortable victory over New Barn Lane. But the latter will be 10lb better off and may be capable of reversing the form. Pidoyne has been running well all year and would have to be a threat providing the ground doesn't become testing. The Mass Path was a disappointing favourite when sent to Kelso and is better judged on an earlier run at Sligo but DUKE OTTO (NAP) failed to stay 2m4f at Cork. The latter completed a double over this trip in the autumn and doesn't look badly treated so can return to winning ways.
