Formscan  - Christmas Day showed a good attitude when winning the Ballysax at Leopardstown and has to be respected on the back of that performance. However, marginal preference is for MORSHDI, who looked an exciting prospect when taking the Feilden at Newmarket. With the prospect of more improvement likely, the son of Dubawi just gets the vote. Wise Prince was keen when third in the Classic Trial, a place behind Al Zanati, and could make his presence felt if settling better. Action, a disappointing fourth at Sandown, and the unbeaten Item are others to consider.
