ROUTINE EXCELLENCE (2) is clearly top rated on official figures. Form dipped following claiming success at Bellewstown (2m4 1/2f) in August. Encouraging signs tackling fences at Leopardstown recently. Sound chance. LAKOTA BLUE (6) comes without a win in eight Irish starts. Below form past two outings. Definite player based on peak efforts. Dangerous with rider claiming 7lb allowance. MUST MEET CECIL (4) returns from a 519-day absence. Won three of his five attempts prior to a break and holds ability to go close. Market to prove informative. LUCKY STORM (7) is another to consider on stable debut.
