NEVERUSHACON tends to go well on the cross-country track at Punchestown and was far from discredited in what was likely a prep' run at Wexford last time, so he gets the nod ahead of Shady Operator, who regularly runs well in these events. Potters Corner is also considered for a shrewd British yard.
