Verdict
Port Stanley made a bad mistake at the last and succumbed to the 100/1 chance Department Of War at Down Royal but the remainder were well beaten. Village Mystic, runner-up over 2m4f at Navan, was in touch when falling 3 out over this track and trip a fortnight ago and should be thereabouts. LYNWOOD GOLD (NAP) had some fair form on the Flat and made a very encouraging debut over hurdles at Fairyhouse behind Exit Poll, who runs in the Grade 2 earlier. Jessica Harrington's charge looks the one to beat with normal progress though Pure Genius has shown up well in both starts after arriving from France.
