Verdict
Dewcup, who has a cracking record around here, had TORYGRAPH four lengths behind when runner-up to the smart French Dynamite at Punchestown. However, he had a fitness advantage over the latter who is taken to reverse the form. Holymacapony has always looked like a chaser so he did well to score over timber while dual hurdles winner Max Flamingo wasn't beaten far in what looked a strong beginners' event here earlier this month and is a definite contender.
