Glamorgan Duke gained a shock victory in a Grade A handicap at Leopardstown earlier in the month, though that was over 2m5f. I'm A Game Changer couldn't quite hold off the smart Tornado Flyer in a Grade 3 here in December and may again have to give best to a Willie Mullins' entry as CUT THE MUSTARD won a mares' Listed race very easily here three weeks ago. Sizing Pottsie took advantage of testing conditions with an easy victory at Fairyhouse last week and looks a smart recruit while Yaha Fizz made all for an impressive victory on heavy going at Punchestown last week.
