Winning point-to-pointer Dantes King could find this on the short side as his best efforts have come over further. Mount Colah has shown plenty of promise and can do better while Shrapnel will have come on for his opening run over timber behind Jetson at Cork. There must have been something amiss when Benefficient reappeared at Naas as he was beaten a distance and more is expected from True Character, who won a bumper here in December. FORMIDABLEOPPONENT, who won a point-to-point by a distance, easily landed a bumper here a year ago and can take this as he looks just the type Noel Meade does so well with.
