Aidan O'Brien will be disappointed that No Biggie, who has been well beaten in two starts here, gets into the race while Birthplace is only first reserve. The latter, a son of Galileo and related to several winners, would be the choice if getting a run as he showed plenty of potential behind stablemate Cook Islands at Navan in October. In his absence this looks between A SHIN IMPALA and Ebadan with the former just edging the vote. Tommy Stack's charge defied a poor draw and obvious inexperience to get close to In Her Stride over 7f here last month and though berthed out wide again so is his main rival. Ebadan has made progress with each start and was headed right on the line by Red Rannagh over the track and trip in November so it will be a surprise if he's not in the picture again. Chewy Round Town had no answer to Roman Impero last week but it was a good run and he should go well again.
