LIEUTENANT started favourite on his debut at Cork in July but finished mid-division, though he did better when runner-up to the prolific Prince D'Aubrelle at Galway. He'll be unfortunate to come up against one as good here and should go one better. Loughaderra Prince is the obvious danger having been in control when falling on his debut between the flags then not getting the best of runs on heavy going at Listowel. Cognitive may prove best of the remainder.
