Verdict

WISHING AND HOPING was 2-3 in this sphere last season and, arriving on the back of a solid second when last seen between the flags, he's fancied to continue the good work back in this discipline in a race where most have something to prove. Duhallow Tornado and Haymount are a couple of others to consider.
