Verdict
Jurancon has joined David Pipe after an impressive victory at Portrush in October. But he'd earlier finished behind Ski Lodge when the latter was runner-up at Dromahane and Alan King's new recruit could be a nice prospect. Monty Bodkin couldn't handle Celtic Dino at Ascot but the winner looks smart while Mount Gay Run was very green here last month and should do much better. WALK IN THE HILLS probably came up against a useful one when runner-up to Captain Bellamy here in October and is taken to go one better.
