Verdict

Captain Cj would probably have completed a four-timer between the flags but for falling two out at Portrush in October and is an interesting debutant under Rules, as is MINELLA ENCORE. The latter would have made a successful debut between the flags a year ago but for falling at the second-last and was then left clear for an easy victory at Killeagh in January. He's joined the champion trainer and can make a successful debut though Narcissistic has shown potential in bumpers and shouldn't be long in winning. Ravenhill hasn't run since easily landing a point at Loughanmore in March of last year.
