In depth

Verdict

HUMANISTE (NAP) is up 8lb for a convincing victory at Tipperary on good ground in October but handles these conditions and can concede weight all round. The four-year-old Saint D'Oroux, a close third behind stable companion Aramax in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham, is slipping to a fair mark while Sullane Hill has completed double on the track in recent weeks though a 10lb rise makes this much tougher, especially as he had a 7lb claimer on board last time. Conright Boy has been in cracking form on testing ground but he's up 5lb for a narrow victory at Cork while West Cork Wildway makes his handicap debut in what looks a competitive event.
