Verdict
Wolf Prince has won twice here but has been looking a few pounds high in recent races and his yard may have a better chance with Malina Girl, who didn't do herself justice at Listowel in September after completing a double. However, ARDHILL showed massive improvement when sent to Ascot in December and is still on a lowly mark despite being 3lb out of the handicap. Winning point-to-pointer Carrig Sam came here for a maiden on New Year's Day and was always in the front rank before leading three out and staying on strongly. Barry Connell has his horses in good form and Enniskerry should be fit enough despite not being seen since just failing to complete a hat-trick at the Galway Festival in July. Irascible hasn't run since seeing the back of the top-class Appreciate It for the third time in Grade 1 events at Cheltenham last March but has three entries there next month.
