The market will tell you plenty but GRANDADS HORSE is worthy of another chance after running a promising race around here last time out. Youralltalk is of obvious interest as a winning point-to-pointer and perhaps more notably still, the mount of Tony McCoy. Newyearsresolution is an interesting debutant from the Nick Mitchell yard as the son of the useful flat horse, Mr Combustible. Caravan Queen won well at Kinsale in a point over three miles and from unfashionable connections, could be a couple of points bigger than the formbook dictates. John Sixteen's dam is a half-sister to Dev so if he has any of those abilities within his genes, he could not be ruled out of the equation.
