MAKE GOOD was in brilliant form at the backend of 2020, scoring very easily over this track and trip and landing a Grade 2 over hurdles at Cheltenham. He was returning from almost two years off when a very close third in a Curragh handicap in October so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem. Celtic Revival's three victories have been at Dundalk while Franno has struggled from her revised mark after her Bellewstown victory. Appian Way won twice over hurdles last autumn and a handicap mark of 47 can see him in the firing-line here.
