Circling Moon was staying on over 1m4f at Leopardstown so this looks on the short side and he hasn't raced on anything like this ground. CUL AN TI has shown potential on ground with give last season and only just failed to peg back Steeleyeyed in a Fairyhouse claimer earlier this month so looks the one to be on. Mauricio's best run was at Dundalk but Blue Book showed promise on soft going last season and with the step-up in trip likely to suit she can get into contention for her in-form yard.
