Verdict
NOBLE BIRTH has shaped well on both outings for his new yard, including when third in a 3m handicap chase at Cork in October and, with the return to shorter than 3m looking a good move (no sluggard), he makes plenty of appeal. Bleu d'Enfer can make his presence felt back up in trip if keeping mistakes to a minimum, with Banjaxed and Enjoy The Dream others to consider.
