Andratx is best on heavy ground as he showed when beaten a neck by Stellify at the Curragh in November. More rain would aid his cause but Little Brother was suited by quicker ground when landing a Leopardstown handicap last month so wouldn't want more rain. SWELLTIME started a short-priced favourite for a Navan handicap last month and looked to be going easily but found little at the business end. This looks a moderate handicap so he's taken to recoup losses. Alwisaam has produced his best runs at Dundalk.
