RUNFORDAVE attracted some support at the Punchestown Festival and though never looking likely to take a part in the finish he ran on well once getting the hang of the job and can take this for Gordon Elliott. Finula, who finished sixth, looks held so the main threat may come from a newcomer. Dos Picas has more of a Flat pedigree and should have the pace to get involved under Nina Carberry while Patrick Mullins is on board the stoutly bred Imperial Way. Fintara is related to a winning bumper and Frazel Express, a daughter of Yeats, is out of a winning bumper.
