Verdict
HOLDING FAST has been threatening to open his account and nearly did so when caught on the line over 6f here on Monday. This looks easier and he'll take some catching if allowed his own way up front. Twinwood Star had Lexi's Beauty, Scoobys Girl and Lady Calantha behind when runner-up over C&D last time and should confirm running but the remainder have shown no worthwhile form as yet with the exception of a third at Bellewstown last year by Irish import Samara Jazz.
