GUARD DUTY proved more settled in a first-time hood when running out a comfortable winner over C&D 17 days ago and, with the potential for further improvement, he's taken to defy a penalty and confirm his superiority over Virtual Rock. Bowling Buddy is an interesting Rules debutant having joined Olly Murphy following an Irish point win in May and strong market support for him would need taking seriously.
