Brontide completed a double for Jim Bolger over 1m2f in the summer and though there's no evidence of jumping in his pedigree Conor O'Dwyer will get the best out of him. A Year To remember is difficult to fathom as he won on heavy ground for Aidan O'Brien as a two-year-old but finished last on his only start this year in August. Don't Quit won a very low-grade handicap over a mile at Gowran in October and is another not really bred for jumping and Jefferson Davis, who has also scored over a mile, looks to have more chance of making a hurdler. DAKOTA MOIRETTE was undoubtedly disappointing when odds-on at Fairyhouse though the winner, Prospectus, may turn out to be useful so Gordon Elliott's charge can gain compensation though stablemate Icario, a winner on the Flat in France, could be a danger having been brought down at the first at Leopardstown on Tuesday.
