There was much to like about the way DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT travelled through the race when runner-up on handicap debut at Fairyhouse and, with further progress highly likely, she is taken to go one better here. The lightly-raced County Final was just touched off in a Grade 2 Limerick novice on Boxing Day and he is greatly respected back in handicap company. Gordon Elliott saddles several, with Wendrock the pick of them ahead of Son of Anarchy. Road To Home is also shortlisted.
