POKER D'AINAY represents the best in the business and may not need to be right out of the top drawer in order to make a winning start in what appears an ordinary enough affair. Roscommon fifth Dona Katharina should be capable of more and can improve a place or two while newcomers Hang In There and Dedanann have some merit on paper too.
