Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and STUZZIKINI looks the way to go on the back of his excellent Punchestown second which gives him the clear edge on form. Bialystok and Sunchart both have better days ahead of them and appeal as the duo to chase home Gordon Elliott's gelding in that order.
