Morney Wing will be winning before long judged on his placed efforts earlier this year but he's not raced since July - COULEUR FRANCE (NAP) has the more recent form. He separated a couple of subsequent winners when second at Fairyhouse and Noel Meade's charge can go one better. Slygufftou posted his best effort so far when second at Wexford last month and point-to-point winner Marvellous Moment is worth noting on his debut under Rules.
