Verdict
Ger Lyons and Johnny Murtagh can complete a double with RED ARMY BLUES, who looked a very unfortunate loser over the C&D three weeks ago when just failing to catch Big Tex after having to be snatched up at a vital stage. Compensation awaits and he should again take care of fourth-placed Extra Steps, who may do better over further, and the sixth More Than A Lot, who had every chance. Colour Of Love appeared well suited to 7f when scoring here in November and should be winning over that trip again soon while Luibin Cufa found a mile much too far at Leopardstown on Sunday and should do better this time.
