Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging.

Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip.

Verdict

Knockmore Prince has been running well at Dundalk this winter but preference is for MASTER GARVEY who is proven in these conditions and should relish a step up in trip after last week’s seasonal return over an insufficient five furlongs. Rhythm King is another that has conditions in his favour and he could be involved if he’s tuned up for his return. [Phill Anderson]
