Verdict

Zuccotti Park arrives with a victory between the flags at Kilfeacle to his credit but this should go to a newcomer and FINE ARTICLE fits the bill. Paul Nolan's Kayf Tara gelding is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three foals, amongst them the high-class Joncol. Willie Mullins has such an outstanding record in bumpers that Westhorpe will attract support and is hard to dismiss though Gordon Elliott's Officer Cadet is well worth monitoring in the betting market with Nina Carberry in the saddle.
