DOWN TIME is the youngest in the line-up and the only course and distance winner. He'd shown some early promise and could hardly have been more impressive here last month when he came home 12l clear after being eased down. Not surprisingly he's been raised 12lb but Brian Hayes takes off 3lb and a double looks on the cards. Top Chief was sent for a selling handicap at Perth which he duly won and he's probably better than that class while Taken Twice is only 3lb higher than his victory on fast ground at Roscommon in August and will be better for a recent run, his first since October. Dark Outsider has been gradually making progress and produced an excellent performance to finish runner-up to Kennedys Mor at Tipperary when conceding lumps of weight to the winner so he'll prove a threat in that kind of form.
