In depth
Verdict
Beart gained a surprise C&D victory last month but didn't appreciate being back on turf at Limerick a couple of weeks later. Zero Euro has run quite well over the C&D and though still a maiden hasn't had much experience. Luckiest Owners is still a maiden after 20 starts but Tohugo has a bit of scope and showed up nicely on his reappearance last month. He finished just behind SAMOLLIE on that occasion, however, and Garvan Donnelly's charge gets the vote as he continues on the upgrade and is just 3lb higher than when scoring here in February despite two decent subsequent efforts.
