Verdict

Dunvegan was probably fortunate when the long-time leader fell at Punchestown though he still had 18 lengths to spare over the runner-up. He couldn't get close to Cash Back and Zero Ten at Naas next time and the latter, who fell when long odds-on at Punchestown next time, is expected to go close. Cut The Mustard easily landed a mares' Listed contest on the latter track but was put in her place by SIZING POTTSIE in a Navan Grade 3 next time. The winner has a penalty here but is looking a smart prospect and will take some beating. Capuccimix has gradually improved over fences and made all for a comfortable victory at Naas and stable companion Emily Moon couldn't have won more easily on her chasing bow here earlier this month.
