Verdict

The bumper winners THE BIG DOYEN and Doctor Bravo could have this between them, with Peter Fahey's charge taken to gain compensation for his Punchestown demotion with the third that day having won impressively at Naas next time. Doctor Bravo looks open to plenty of improvement and will be a formidable opponent. The Wallpark, an encouraging second here in November, is the other contender on recent form.
