NOBLE ANDY would have solid claims on the best of his form from last season and having shaped creditably in a competitive handicap at Fairyhouse earlier this month, he may be able to get off the mark with blinkers refitted. So Messi arrives on the back of a better effort and has performed well over C&D, as has Sayfa Fad who was runner-up here on penultimate start. Of the rest, Fleetfootsoldier has shown glimpses of promise for John McConnell but will need some luck from the widest stall.
