Verdict
ROI DU MEE has a penalty for his Grade 2 success over Prince De Beauchene at Fairyhouse last month but is such a tough and consistent performer that he can gain his 12th career victory. Call The Police is a classy performer on his day and scored twice earlier in the year, one of them a Grade 3. He found the minimum trip too short last time and has to be a threat. Pandorama, a Grade 1 winner over hurdles and three times over fences, looked one of Ireland's brightest prospects before injury struck but was beaten a distance in the Lexus in December, his first start since the 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup. The remainder look as though they are playing for place money.
