Verdict

LOW STYLE got no further than the first fence on his chase debut last time but he is of major interest back in this sphere having readily accounted for Well Funded and 14 others on his handicap hurdle debut at Roscommon in September. Dutch Schultz is open to improvement and is next on the list ahead of Contrapposto, Itwasfate and Brookie. Wild Dollar makes his handicap debut in this sphere off a feasible mark and he also enters calculations.
