ANTEY, a winner on the Flat in France, made a very solid debut for new connections at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day when returning from a long break. Today's longer trip will see him in a better light and he'll take some beating. Winning bumper Catwalk King almost caught Dortmund Park over this trip on heavy ground at Fairyhouse but Massey's Wood has disappointed over timber since his Listowel bumper victory. Roundstone was left to come home virtually alone when a rival fell at the second-last in a point at Borris House and is one for the future while Mortal, in the same ownership, is improving and should get into the action. Winning point-to-pointer Not Many Left looked a real staying type when a close fifth at Leopardstown so may need further.
