Verdict
Tarazani makes his handicap debut but looks a bit high on what he's achieved over timber. Thereisnodoubt ran easily his best race to date at Naas last time when the going was very testing and looks to have a fair chance of gaining his first victory. However, A PLACE APART has produced his best runs on heavy ground, including at Limerick in December, and looks the one to be on with his rider's claim a plus. Soul Season won here last May on good going and was returning from a long break when winning on the track again, this time over 2m4f. He's at the veteran stage but hasn't had much racing and looks a big threat.
