The Anjaal gelding, ALGERIA caught the eye over 7f at this venue in November, running on when the penny had dropped on his sole start for trainer Joseph O'Brien in November. The three-year-old is in the right hands to improve at the expense of Mythologic, the first runner for rookie trainer Donnacha O'Brien. Mr Mooj represents a trainer who boasts a 44% win and place strike rate at this venue since 2016 in the first couple of weeks of the new year and another debutante Crashdaparty for trainer Dermot Weld could be capable of hitting the frame.
