Prince Of Milan is very well handicapped compared to his chase mark though his latest success came over 3m1f so it will be a surprise if he has the pace for this. Marshim comfortably beat Brian The Warrior over the C&D in October and, after finding 2m4f beyond him next time, returned to this trip to run well behind Doc Hollywood at Thurles. He can go well along with Mollys Captain, though the latter has yet to win a race of any description. Supreme Bob was in good form in the summer but may find the ground too testing so this can go to SPEED DIAL. He's been very unfortunate not to win in his most recent races having been narrowly beaten twice and falling at the last when in the lead at Clonmel. Compensation awaits here despite another rise in the weights.
