Verdict

THIS GUY has let favourite backers down on a few occasions but might be worth one more chance with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle now. Navan winner Baggot Street will be a threat if the blinkers work a second time. Hooves Your Daddy is also shortlisted on the back of a good reappearance second at Dundalk.
