Verdict

Irish raider LAND OF THE GIANTS ran a cracker when narrowly denied at Cork recently and can strike for Ado McGuinness. Dingwall has been knocking on the door on all-weather in recent starts and is second choice. Uncle Liam and Runninsonofagun were in good form when last seen in the autumn.
