Verdict

Plenty to consider but French-recruit MADARA is coming good for this yard so could be the answer after his decisive win at Cheltenham. Henn See disappointed at Limerick on Boxing Day but starts life in handicaps off a fair-looking mark, while Solness won a similar event in good style at Fairyhouse 9 weeks ago.
