Although undoubtedly disappointing when tried over 1m2f at the Curragh on his return, IS FEIDIR LINN is the definite form pick on his first-season efforts which include a short-head defeat by Noll Wollop at the Curragh in October. Top Spin mixed it with the best last season without really threatening to land a blow and should be better for his return behind Lingapour at Dundalk. Aznavour is related to a couple of winners and looks one to keep an eye on for the future.
