Dermot Weld won this a year ago with Imaging and Asdaa looks a similar type though an absence since landing a Fairyhouse maiden in July gives him plenty to do. Cosmic Horizon raced in strong company in his first campaign though was beaten in a handicap here but Decrypt went into plenty of notebooks after two excellent runs over 6f at the Curragh. The former's stable have two other entries. Cnoc An Oir has much more to do than when landing a Dundalk maiden in October but the superbly-bred Kiss For Luck won nicely on the same track in November and looks one to follow. WESTERN FRONTIER has a Group 3 entry and may not be a stable star but he looks the type to make good progress this campaign after a comfortable victory on his final start at Navan in October. Eclipse Storm is another to note in an interesting contest.
