Verdict

The steadily progressive ALPESH AMIN opened his account at Limerick at the end of December and, with the promise of better to come now upped in trip for this handicap debut, he gets the nod. Champella remains open to improvement and she is next on the list, while Robyndeglory also has claims back down in class having contested a Grade 3 event recently. Coventry would be a danger to all off this reduced mark if he were to put his best foot forward.
