STONE MOUNTAIN (NAP) dead-heated for a handicap at Dundalk last month, his second victory there in a few weeks. He's on the upgrade and will make a bold bid to gain his first success on Turf so gets the vote. The Mouse Doctor wasn't far behind him last month and has his first start on Turf while Aared has also been going well on Polytrack having won at Dundalk last month and he's not badly handicapped back on Turf. Wexford Opera is on a lower mark than his victory here in October so has to be considered while the three-year-old Aspen Mountain makes his handicap debut after November's maiden victory at Dundalk. Poetic Choice has been running well but looks a bit high in the ratings.
