LIMERICK LEADER shaped well when third on his recent chasing bow here and is fancied to take a step forward now his stamina is drawn out more and open his account. C&D scorer Large Action rates the chief threat if, as expected, bouncing back from a below-par Sedgefield showing last time out. Dr Shirocco and Nabraska appeal as the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
