The Thomas Cooper-trained SHOWMETHEGIN finished ahead of a number of these on debut at Roscommon in June on debut beaten a nose by Kestrel Prince, who has subsequently won again. Ger Lyons' Army Recruit can give the selection the most to think about, while the progressive Social Graces and Galway festival runner-up Harvest Bow are capable of hitting the frame.
