Verdict
Definite All Star has a penalty to carry for his bumper success in 2009 but produced some good efforts on fast ground last summer. A long absence is rarely a problem for runners from this yard but the ground isn't ideal. Noel Meade tries Kid Curry in blinkers and he's an obvious threat on the form shown when runner-up to Garamor Boy at Downpatrick though his best runs have been over further. King's Parade showed enough on his debut over timber at Navan to suggest he can get involved but this can go to ANDERSON MCAULEY, a good third in a big field on heavy going here in December who can finally get off the mark after some good placed efforts.
