Bythesametoken couldn't peg back Light Brigade at Naas but had Stand Off around seven lengths back in fifth and Wolfofallstreets well beaten. Ross O'Sullivan's charge looks to have a good chance off bottom weight while Feelgood Island just failed to see out 2m3f on the latter track after scoring at Down Royal and looks well enough treated for his handicap debut. Take All had been running very well before well beaten in a strong novices' event at Navan while Humaniste and Hybery fought out a finish at Tipperary in October with the latter 8lb better off for a four-length beating and likely to turn the tables. GOLD DES BOIS (NAP) has only won a Clonmel maiden so far but he's run some good races in better company than this and looks the one to beat.
