STOOSHIE looked a certain future winner when beaten narrowly over this trip on his hurdling debut then failed to stay 2m6f at Punchestown so should do much better. He was beaten a head off levels by Roseriver Has in a Downpatrick bumper in September and has the edge at the weights though the winner has made the better start over hurdles and it will be a surprise if he doesn't make the frame. Judgement Day finished behind the selection at Naas last month and though running very well at Limerick last time may be better suited by further. Shumaker won a point at Portrush in October and has the scope to make a hurdler.
