Verdict

MINELLA BUOY and No Bother Aoife shaped well starting out in this sphere at Killarney last month and look the pair to focus on, with John Nallen's charge taken to confirm that form and open his account. Mount Eden should have more to offer in a truly-run race, while Nod of Approval is certainly bred for the job for his top connections.
