Ger Lyons ability to revitalise and/or improve new recruits is infamous and in MAJOR REWARD we look to have another fine case in point after the three-year-old kept on really well over an insufficient looking 7f at Limerick. With an extra 1f here to suit he can go one better. Katiymann's win at Fairyhouse latest is working out well so he may provide the sternest opposition although Leagan Gaeilge too must be respected.
