In depth
Verdict
Florey Spud looked a fine prospect when narrowly beaten at Gowran at this time last year but has failed to fire in two starts subsequently. With his stable back in form I A Connect, narrowly beaten into third at Downpatrick in August, should get into the frame though DEFINITE KATIE looks the one to beat. Willie Mullins' mare made her debut at last year's Galway Festival and was going on at the finish over a slightly shorter trip than this and can defy a long absence. Cafe Del Mar looks best of the remainder.
