Verdict

JOHN STOREY took a step back in the right direction for his new stable when fourth at Punchestown last time and is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark here at the chief expense of recent Thurles scorer Lough Nigara. Gavin Cromwell's Bergamasquo has few miles on the clock and could also have a say.
