Verdict

Pincode, runner-up to John F Kennedy at the Curragh in August, is by Galileo so stepping up from a mile could bring about a better performance and he has the maiden allowance. Vocaliser was a long way behind John F Kennedy in a Group 3 at Leopardstown but found the going too fast having won in softer conditions at Roscommon. Harold Peto was always in command when making all over a mile at Navan in October and his pedigree is all about middle-distances so he should improve, though race sharpness and definite stamina swings this in favour of EDELPOUR. He reappeared over this trip at Gowran and was always travelling well enough to see off King Of Aragon.
