It could be worth chancing GANGSTA MAN, who understandably struggled in a well-contested heat at Navan on his final 2-y-o start and he is on a good mark judged on the pick of last season's nursery form. Great Mover is also is also a player judged on her placed efforts during the autumn, while cases can also be made for Navajo Point and Amber Blossom, who has found just one too good at Dundalk the last twice.
