Verdict

CAPTAIN MAVERICK made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Bellewstown 4 weeks ago and is the percentage call to go one better with improvement on the cards. Megarry stepped up quite markedly on his debut when finding only one too good at Roscommon last month and is an obvious threat, while Aafoor is an interesting newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.
