Dermot Weld has some good chances today and JEWEL MAKER is one of them. He's the first foal of a Group 2 winner and can justify his group entries having made a very promising debut at Naas in October. Crimson Memory also runs for the yard and this looks an ideal trip as he's by Shamardal out of a winning miler. Acrux Cass will need further in time though conditions should help while Valdus will have come on for his run in very testing conditions at Navan. Beckwith Place caught the eye on his debut here in October and it wouldn't take much improvement to get into contention.
