Verdict

There were positives to glean from A GREAT BUZZ's latest effort in a big-field Naas maiden and, with improvement on the cards now pitched into a handicap, she could be the answer. Pidoyne is probably high enough in the weights for now but she looks solid all the same and is feared most ahead of Johngus. Petit Dejeuner and New Barn Lane, first and second respectively over C&D last time, are others to consider.

  1. A GREAT BUZZ (IRE)
  2. PIDOYNE (IRE)
  3. JOHNGUS (IRE)
