A huge field here which should make a middle to high draw important. ALPHABET showed promise for the now retired David Wachman and the fact that he's joined Aidan O'Brien suggests he's expected to do well this campaign. He's handed the vote as though Sixtysix is fit from a good run at Dundalk an inside berth tempers enthusiasm but Invincible Ryker looks more of a threat. He started out with a very good run on testing ground over this track and trip in October but didn't run so well a couple of weeks later at Leopardstown. Solomons Seal made a fair start at the Curragh in October though is another with a low draw to overcome unlike Level Of Intensity, who made his debut in a lucrative sales race at the Curragh before a moderate effort at Limerick.
