DEFY DE MEE, a half-brother to the useful As De Mee, went for 190,000 euros at the Argana Sales last summer after landing a bumper and can make a successful debut for Willie Mullins. Dual bumper winner First Figaro ran much better on his second start over hurdles at Down Royal and looks a threat but Icario has become disappointing and has now had 14 starts over timber without winning. Frankiefiveangels has shown potential though may need further but State Of Nirvana ran a fine race here in November before finding 2m2f and testing ground beyond her at Limerick. Call A Cab is interesting as he's shown plenty of ability in two starts on heavy ground and has the potential to go on to better things.
