Verdict

Play The Game has won around here and was keeping on when falling two out at Bellewstown. Given Wings is the other course and distance winner in the line-up but he's been very disappointing since landing a maiden in August. Name Me Famous completed a double in April and though well beaten into third at Tramore last month is still at the right end of the handicap. MC ALPINE (NAP) returned from a break to land a Listowel handicap in September then won a novices' handicap when sent to Cheltenham in November. He found 2m4f too far at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks later and this looks ideal.
