In depth
Verdict
SITCOM will be difficult to beat if making the expected progress from her fine debut behind Dani Catalonia at Tramore. She attracted good support that day and though held by the winner she had the remainder a long way behind and should go one better. Dessie Hughes has his horses in good form so an absence since April may not be too much of a problem for Art Of Logistics, who made a very pleasing start in a huge field at Punchestown. He looks a big threat and holds Curley Bill on that run though he's another from a yard in form. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Baby Grey is related to a couple of decent winners and out of a mare who won a bumper so he's one to keep an eye on in the betting.
