Formscan  - In a wide-open renewal of this contest, marginal preference is for ROMEO COOLIO. Gordon Elliott's gelding steps up markedly in trip and that is a concern, but he has won two Grade 1 contests over 2m1f at Leopardstown this season while looking in need of further. His most impressive displays this season have come over 2m4f, including a Drinmore success as well as a 14-length defeat of Koktail Divin at Down Royal in October, and he could prove hard to beat if seeing out the trip. Final Demand had been popular for this race all season prior to his defeat at the Dublin Racing Festival and he has questions to answer right now. With that in mind, Wendigo could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Western Fold and The Big Westerner.
