In depth

Verdict

Dicey Mo Chara, one of two newcomers for Joseph O'Brien, is a half-brother to five winners. Stablemate Soonerthebetter is a half-brother to 7f-1m1f winner Trolius. Dermot Weld also has two entries. Kanasay will have come on for his run here in November but Riva looks as though she could need further. Oh Say is looking exposed though hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts here but ALWAYS WAITIN looks the one to beat. He couldn't catch the odds-on Isle Of Sark here in November but the third came out and won subsequently so the form looks good enough for this. Cisne made a very encouraging debut last week and normal progress should see her in the mix.
