Race preview

YEAH MAN has been competitive in similar races in recent times and might turn Troytown form with Stuzzikini. Ground-versatile, the selection is a strong stayer and while he disappointed in the Irish National, his form is generally consistent. He can jump left in the closing stages of his races, which isn't ideal, but is 7lb better off with Stuzzikini than at Navan. Stuzzikini is himself a stout stayer who should also compete. Nick Rockett is well handicapped and finished third at Sandown last April but is 2lb higher following his Paddy Power fourth at Leopardstown. Will Do finished fifth, wearing first-time blinkers, in that race and is another to take seriously.
