Verdict

Balinaboola Steel and Glorious Legend could be vying for the lead here possibly setting the race up for one of those who prefer to race prominently like the Gordon Elliott-trained ANYTIME NOW who was beaten favourite when finishing third of seven at Tramore in October. Gallant John Jo and the Joseph O'Brien-trained Paris Texas, in the colours of J P McManus can battle for the minor honours with the early leaders.
  1. Anytime Now
