ARCTIC GALE (1) looks interesting now revisiting the scene of his sole jumpers flat success after a 162-day break. The Emmett Mullins trained contender appeared to resent the first-time cheekpieces when sixth at Galyway in October and it’s no shock to see them removed here. Going well without winning among maiden company prior and worth siding with on handicap debut. The consistent ten-start maiden AUREA FORTUNA (8) must hold strong claims in the first-time tongue-tie following his solid third-place finish tackling a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in December. Market support for the handicap newcomer PEN TO PAPER (3) would be significant representing top trainer and owner combination. CRESCENT MOON (5) needs to be considered.
