Verdict
This won't take much winning and the three-year-old Busy Bush goes on the short-list on the back of a second at Bellewstown. She should reverse running at that track earlier with Easy Boy on 10lb better terms. Helen's Armada should have come on for her run at Roscommon and Political Policy, likewise, for an outing at Dundalk. ARTISTIC INTEGRITY finished ahead of Gavin Cromwell's charge that day, however, and Ross Coakley takes off 5lb again here so he might be the one to beat.
