Verdict
Plenty of runners but few with realistic chances. Viva Devito, a winning bumper, chased home a useful winner on his hurdling bow here but didn't make the expected progress at Leopardstown nest time. STUZZIKINI finished second to stablemate Sa Fureur on heavy ground at Punchestown and the winner has won subsequently so Gordon Elliott's charge should be capable of losing his maiden tag. Transmission was placed in a maiden hurdle then a bumper before finding 2m4f beyond him back over timber at Leopardstown. The selection's stable companion Set Point is one to note on his debut over timber and for the yard.
