MOREECE has yet to win in 18 starts but his last two runs have been his best and it's about time he was losing that maiden tag. Broadway Twist scored at Fairyhouse in November but a couple of mistakes didn't help when runner-up to Blackandamber Vic back there last month. Balkinstown was only just behind the selection at Navan in November so has to be considered along with High Expectations, though the latter is untested on ground as soft as this. Thepartysover has dropped to a very lowly mark and showed a bit more at LImerick last week so he could get into the action.
