Runner-up Manger Hanagement has recently franked the form of FORTUNE SEEKER's victory at Ballinrobe last month. The nine-year-old seems to have got his act together and could easily follow up here despite a 10lb higher mark. Got Attitude looked to be on the way back when finishing third at Kilbeggan and had Montero behind when scoring over this trip at Galway in October while Lets Go Sunshine should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of outings recently. A similar remark applies to The Bosses Nephew but Aberdale, Having A Cut and King Ali are probably best watched after a lay-off.
