Pontificate produced his best run so far when second off this mark at Killarney last month. Three Bells' second over 5f at Navan signaled a return to form and he won this last year and was second in 2013 so he should be a danger to all but Cappadocia seems far happier on Polytrack nowadays. Dans Girl is still a maiden but was only beaten a neck off this mark at Listowel last year and should strip fitter for her run at Limerick in April. VERSILIA GAL has plummeted down the weights and is now 21lb lower than when successful over course and distance two years ago. She's not been running badly this season and this looks a good opportunity to end her losing run.
