ANTEY was only beaten a neck over course and distance last month and the fourth has won since. He can get favourite backers, and Willie Mullins, off to a winning start despite the big field. Crezic and I Am Sailing were second and third behind Whisperinthebreeze at Naas last month with Play With The Wind in sixth. The first two named were making their debut over timber and should have more to offer. The market will probably tell us what to expect from the remainder.
