Verdict

GRAND PREMIERE could be the answer having only just failed to make a winning debut over C&D in November. County Carlow was the subject of strong support when second here 3 weeks ago and is another to consider, while Amrum is a newcomer to note being a half-brother to connections' very smart miler Siskin.
