AMIRITE failed to justify strong support in the Irish National during the spring, but something was clearly amiss that day and he makes plenty of appeal on his second start in handicap company, in view of the promise he exhibited in novice company. Twig and Kinondo Kwetu, first and third respectively in a valuable contest at Uttoxeter last time, both have claims, while last year's winner Lord Accord, Undersupervision and the selection's stablemate Whacker Clan are others to consider.
