Verdict

Baby Whizz has been in really good form and only weakened from the last at Leopardstown last time when Sorcerer and Rocky Wednesday were behind. He can go well but Rory Anna finished just in front that day and, as she was only just beaten in this a year ago, looks primed for a big run. The four-year-olds SPORTSMASTER and Chill met at Leopardstown in December where the former fell too early to make a decision on whether he would have beaten today's rival, who won the event. Edward O'Grady's charge then came here and beat the classy Hisaabaat and though unable to repeat the process in a Grade 1 subsequently he's very much on the upgrade and looks nicely handicapped.
