Verdict

Adrian McGuinness has his string in good nick and his BEAU ARMY is taken to build on a resurgent Dundalk runner-up and go one better off just a 1 lb higher mark. Gavin Cromwell's No Bother Aoife appeals as a likely improver on her handicap debut and heads the list of dangers, with He's Holding Court, Neon Eyes and Believe Believe all in the mix too.
