MY MATE MOZZIE (NAP) went for £205,000 after easily landing a point at Tattersalls Farm and the outlay looked justified when he beat a huge field of bumpers by eight lengths at Punchestown. He should have the pace for this as should Dewcup, a dual bumper and hurdles winner who found 1m1f too short when favourite at Gowran in April. Weather Alert ran easily his best race to date on testing ground at the Curragh last month so could do with more rain but Phoenix Cowboy has been looking as though he needs further than this.
