Verdict
FUSAIN's close second in a huge field at Navan in December is far superior to anything produced by these rivals and he looks to have been found a simple task to lose his maiden tag despite being well beaten at Leopardstown a few weeks later. Niall Madden did well to stay on board when Fairway Finder was badly impeded here in April and his mount looks the type to improve while Ally Cay was narrowly beaten on the Flat at Roscommon on Monday and could prove best of the remainder.
