Colms Dream has followed his hat-trick in the autumn with two falls and is 13lb higher than his last winning mark. Federici has failed to take advantage of a much lower mark over hurdles in recent starts and hasn't won since 2014. BALLYADAM APPROACH (NAP) completed a double in the spring in very strong handicap company at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. His only subsequent start was over timber in November but he should be fit enough and looks the one to be on. Bearly Legal had been running well without winning until landing a course and distance handicap last month in very good style. He's up 7lb but that's unlikely to prevent another big run. Rogue Angel has a touch of quality which he showed when landing the Kerry National at Listowel in September and he's only 4lb higher.
