DANCING CITY, who is related to a couple of winning hurdlers in France, landed a point at Borris House in December by 12l and will be at short odds for his debut with Willie Mullins. Alpesh Amin very nearly created the shock of the season in a Limerick bumper last month when beaten a head at 150/1 with Memories Never Die a long way behind and that looks very strong form. Three Card Brag has a stamina-packed pedigree so is likely to find some of these too quick.
