Verdict
The beautifully-bred Katiola attracted good support on her debut at Gowran in May but looked very much in need of the experience and hasn't been seen since. JACK DADDY showed distinct signs of promise on his debut over the C&D two weeks ago, looking in need of the experience but staying on really well once getting the hang of things. He has a couple of lengths to find with the more experienced Buckingham Gate on that run and there should be little between them but Joe Murphy's charge looks to have plenty of scope and gets the vote. Order, a stablemate of Buckingham Gate, showed nothing on his debut here in October but being by Galileo will appreciate stepping up to middle-distances this season.
