Verdict

Mick Halford sent out the odds-on winner of this 12 months ago and his VITELLO will probably be a short price this year. It's a slight worry that she's making her seasonal reappearance but her fourth in a Listed race at Fairyhouse in September was a more than decent effort and she's getting 5lb and 4lb respectively from course and distance winners Al Mohalhal and Cool Thunder. The former is the pick of that pair on his latest second in a Group 3 at Leopardstown but is thoroughly exposed. Flowerhill Nova has a mountain to climb at the weights.
