      Verdict

      None of these have shown much so far under Rules so we'll hand the most tentative of votes to LOUGH DERG LEADER, who won a point-to-point at Loughrea in April and has Richard Johnson doing the steering. Leith Hill Lad has also won between the flags but it would require a giant leap of faith to give Tower Of Allen another chance. Chosen Tribe, Kabanga Bay and Gersjoeycasey all look very modest.
