The market should reveal plenty here but Mickey Bowen's ESKYLADY fetched £260,000 after comfortably bagging an Irish point in October so is taken to make a winning start. Dan Skelton's Drakaris shaped well when runner-up over C&D on her debut and rates a big danger though, while both Red Wine Supernova and Elderflower Tonic bring potential too to this intriguing bumper and also need considering.
