Verdict
Buddy One had been unplaced at huge odds in maidens, though showed some promise at Navan in November, and attracted good support over this trip at Fairyhouse on Saturday where he won convincingly. He has a 7lb penalty for his handicap debut but should make a bold bid to defy the extra. Joeswayornoway has mainly been chasing though was well beaten when last seen over timber in October. Tomjackwilliam was the form pick on his two placed efforts in the autumn when coming here for a handicap over the trip on heavy ground last month. His rider lost an iron when he made a mistake at the last but still had something in hand at the finish. CARBON KING beat a big field in a Naas handicap last month and started a short-priced favourite for a Fairyhouse handicap last week but didn't get the run of the race. Compensation awaits here.
