Despite being passed over by Mark Walsh, the unexposed HANDS ON makes plenty of appeal. Indeed, it was a decent maiden that he won at Cork in October and, provided all is well following a break, he could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap. Undeniable Alibi is also open to improvement and is just about feared most ahead of British raider Holly, Nara, who is Walsh's pick, and Answering.
