WHOSAIDSO is better than his overall form figures suggest and is just 4lb higher than his success at Sligo in October so looks the one to be on. King Of Ardcane has dropped to a lowly mark and has to be considered along with Tullintain, runner-up in a much better race than this here a year ago but not in that kind of form subsequently. On The Way Out ran quite well behind King Vuvuzela at Leopardstown on St Stephens Day while Playing has the past form to figure and would have won on his last start over fences in May but for falling at the second last.
