Koybig completed a hat-trick at Dundalk at the turn of the year and has been going well on Turf but is 10lb higher than his last winning mark. Prosecution is still a maiden after 14 starts and his best recent runs have been on heavy ground. Syndicate has joined John Feane from the UK and will be winning soon judged on her recent runs for the yard while Saga Altais, who has been hurdling, ran well behind Wexford Opera at Naas and is 1lb lower. Guanabara Bay did well to win a Bellewstown claimer but it's about time AVALANCHE was winning again. A winner over the course and distance, he bounced back with a good run at Limerick last time and the assessor has given him a chance.
