Verdict

Ger Lyons saddles three in this lucrative auction race final and Colin Keane's presence on board ARMY RECRUIT (NAP) looks significant as his mount has produced three good runs in maiden company. He was on board Kestrel Prince for his two victories at Roscommon so must believe his mount is well in here. Dadoozdart was four lengths behind the latter at Roscommon in August before running well in another lucrative event at the Curragh while Gustavus Weston hails from a yard in form and followed a promising debut at Gowran with an impressive victory at Fairyhouse so he's on the short-list. Hammersmith and Cedars Of Lebanon are experienced performers who are closely matched on their 1-2 over the course and distance three weeks ago in which the latter just prevailed. Dark Pursuit and Army Recruit, 1-2 at Down Royal last month, are others with chances.
