INDRIK was a well beaten runner-up over a longer trip at Tipperary in October but finished a lot closer back over 2m at Fairyhouse last time. Joseph O’Brien’s charge is just preferred to Pershing Missile but the latter made a promising start when placed at Limerick last month while point-to-point winner Trainwreck was fourth at Leopardstown on his debut under Rules and Our Valentina ran well at Punchestown last time. Last Minute Man is the first foal of a bumper and hurdles winner and makes his racecourse debut for Gordon Elliott.
