Verdict
Stuzzikini, runner-up to stablemate Sa Fureur at Punchestown, occupied the same spot behind the odds-on Viva Devito at Fairyhouse though was beaten a long way. The winner's yard is represented by MACDERMOTT, who came here for a bumper in January but was eventually well beaten after being up with the pace. His pedigree is all about jumping so he's taken to get off the mark. Canal End has shown plenty of potential in both starts while Western Comandor found 3m on heavy going too much for him at Cork. Find A Fortune could be interesting if getting a run from his reserve spot.
