In depth

Verdict

YOUNG TED (NAP) is comfortably the form pick on his second to My Sister Sarah in a lucrative handicap at Punchestown last May and may just have needed the run on his reappearance here in January. Bois De Clamart was beaten a long way when runner-up at Punchestown but Desire De Joie did better when stepped up to 2m4f on the latter track and should be ideally suited by this trip. Dual bumper winner Golden Spread has yet to make his mark over timber but shouldn't be written off just yet.
