WELL OFF, a 300,000gns son of Monsun, will not need to be anything special to land this on his racecourse debut and Saeed Bin Suroor's colt gets the nod. The older horses Dancin Alpha and Qaffaal have similar handicap marks with the latter preferred on his earlier fourth at Southwell while Casila showed a glimpse of promise on her debut at Leicester in October and better is expected this year. Spryt went close at Listowel in June and has joined a new yard while Princess Peaches is a half-sister to a couple of winners and a newcomer to note.
