Binge Drinker started favourite at Worcester in October and only found one too good. He should be thereabouts again while there is still plenty of time for winning pointers Bostin and Monart Diamond. Definitly Red won by 20 lengths between the flags at Loughanmore in October and is even more interesting but LAIRD OF MONKSFORD should do well in this sphere. Donald McCain's newcomer is a half-brother to two bumper winners in Ireland and is sure to know what's required.
