Verdict

COUNT BEZUKHOV made a promising start when staying on for third at Leopardstown 13 days ago, beaten only by the pair clear at the head of the market, and he can build on that effort to open his account. The Willie Mullins-trained The Shandyman isn't taken lightly, though, while Numantia is of plenty of interest on debut.
