Verdict
Monotype should do better in time but is penalised for winning on the Flat while Play The Part carries extra for winning a bumper here in October. Crossed My Mind didn't get far on his debut at Cork and had little chance against Melon at Leopardstown but this looks more his level. FOXEARTH showed a bit of potential in bumpers before making a fine debut over hurdles at Downpatrick where he just failed to hold Mahler Ten in a driving finish, form that should be good enough for this.
