Useful performer who won 3 times in 2020. Well backed but shaped as if needing the run at the Curragh on return in May. Off a further 6 months but retains potential on last year's form. Tongue tied.

My Holy Fox (7/2), Teed Up (6/1), Yafordadoe (13/2), Ideal Pal (15/2), Big Island (17/2), Loingseoir (9/1), Amber Kite (10/1), Lord Park (10/1), Stylistic Approach (10/1), Chicago Bear (11/1), In From The Cold (12/1), Quizical (20/1), Khafaaq (25/1), Darwell Lion (25/1), Rebel Tale (40/1), Convertible (66/1)

MY HOLY FOX followed up her Curragh success in a good time at Punchestown 20 days ago, and with better still to come at this trip, she's fancied to land the hat-trick. Teed Up has a 6-month absence to overcome but he retains potential on the strength of last season's form, while Chicago Bear is worth another chance having raced too freely at Leopardstown last time.
