Verdict

With cheekpieces reapplied, YOUNG DEV took advantage of his falling mark when scoring at Navan in February and he's worth another chance having still been in touch when unseating at Leopardstown a week ago. He can get the better of Falco Blitz, who gained a first success for his current trainer last time, while Royal Thief is interesting down in grade.
