9/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good), sticking to task. Off 6 months and looks vulnerable here, resuming on a 3 lb higher mark.

Two wins from 5 runs last year, the latest at Cork in September. Good fourth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good, 22/1) when last seen in October. One to consider.

Forecasts

Half Nutz (15/8), Cleveleys (9/2), Lord Dudley (11/2), Mickey The Steel (8/1), Breaking Story (17/2), Trueba (17/2), Stylistic Approach (11/1), Affable (16/1), Abeona (20/1), Alqabeela (33/1), Bears Hug (50/1)

Verdict

Despite a tardy start, HALF NUTZ did the job well when notching his third C&D victory in October and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following on debut for new connections. Stablemate Trueba also signed off his 2021 campaign on a winning note, but the selection may have most to fear from Stylistic Approach and Breaking Story.

  1. Half Nutz15/8
  2. Stylistic Approach11/1
  3. Breaking Story17/2
