L'UN DEUX TROIS made a satisfactory return to action when fifth at Roscommon earlier this month and with that sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Oliver McKiernan's 8-y-o is fancied to repeat what he did last year and score second time up over C&D. Forlio, Nusra and Spinning Web were 1-2-3 at Limerick earlier this month and they can provide most resistance in an open-looking finale.
