The unexposed DROMORE LAD has the scope to make further progress in handicaps and is forwarded as the most interesting contender in an ordinary handicap. The selection does have 7lb more on his back after winning at Fairyhouse in October, but the manner of his success created the impression that he has a good way to go yet and he looks worth siding with for the time being. Ali Bin Nayef has also come good of late and appeals as a viable alternative, while Paper Lantern reverts to hurdles after paying the price for a good spell over fences - he is well treated in comparison to his chase rating.
