GARRAI PHAIDIN makes too many mistakes and has failed to complete in two of his last three but if getting round he looks the one to beat as he won by 16l at Thurles in February and was still in front when falling at Gowran. Kylecrue is back on the same mark as when successful at Listowel in September but has been very busy subsequently and has looked as though he'd had enough in his two most recent starts. Final Gift is a class act between the flags but hasn't transferred that form to regulation fences while neither Off The Charts nor Day Dream Boy has been showing enough to warrant consideration.
