    Verdict

    Shark Hanlon is taking the easy option with HIDDEN CYCLONE, who may well have been heading for Cheltenham given his very progressive profile which saw him beat a decent field in a Grade 2 at Thurles last month. He should have few problems here even with his penalty. Medical Card is going well and there was plenty to like about his defeat of White Star Line at Naas but he faces much stiffer opposition here and Fists Of Fury, placed in two graded races after landing a maiden at Thurles in November, looks the main threat. Carloswayback was beaten a long way by Hidden Cyclone last time.
