CUSTERS MISTAKE seemed to be holding a bit back for himself when fourth of 18 at Gowran and the application of a visor may help him get his head in front off a fair mark. Share The Honour caught the eye at Dundalk last time and is another to consider, while lightly-raced 4-y-o Hook Head remains with potential.
