INFLECTION POINT (NAP) was making his debut for Kieran Cotter when a close fourth under a huge weight here earlier this month where he would have finished closer if getting the run of the race. He finished behind runner-up Fit For Function but Joe Murphy's charge had been running at Dundalk and the places can be reversed. Benedict Roezi was having only the second run of his career when scoring at Dundalk in November and is entitled to have made progress over the winter while Blairmayne, who has won around here, scored twice at the Curragh last summer. Celtic Manor completed a double for William Haggas last summer and has joined Garvan Donnelly, who will get the best from him. Makhalad was engaged in the 2.45 at Tipperary yesterday.
