DERBY went for £60,000 after winning very easily at Loughbrickland in November and has joined Willie Mullins. Different Spot started odds-on for his debut at Rathcannon but was put in his place by I Can't Explain. Global Jackpot fetched £90,000 after landing a maiden at Mainstown and has joined Gordon Elliott while Presented Well only just failed to catch Beyondthestorm at Moira in December. Neither Assemble nor Getaday can be dismissed in a tricky finale.
