It might pay to focus on the top two in this and preference is for CASTELLO SFORZA despite his tendency to let punters down. He's twice been turned over at short prices but the form of his Leopardstown third at Christmas is relatively good and he has the scope to go and win this for the champion trainer. Limerick bumper winner Mossback also has a degree of promise but he had every chance to win last time and didn't go through with it. Mighty Stowaway is forgiven his most recent run and should be well suited back to this trip, at which he's finished second on all three starts. Aint Dunne Yet finished third behind Cheltenham-bound Death Duty on his previous run, that is form that reads well now, despite the break he can be given a chance. 1. Castello Sforza 2. Mossback 3.
