BABICH wasn't disgraced over hurdles at Leopardstown during the Christmas period and he is appealing back on the level, having finished a good second at Roscommon on his latest start on the level during the autumn. He may have most to fear from Aird, who found just one too good over C&D last month, but Autumn Twist is also worthy of consideration.
