Verdict
KEEPTHEFAITHINME couldn't keep tabs on the odds-on Agritime, who has won again, at Limerick but won't meet one of the winner's quality here. Beeverstown Bullet has alternated between bumpers and hurdles and has shown some ability while Castlehill Boy found heavy ground against him here in February having finished a very good second to an odds-on chance at Cork last August.
