The Bosses Cousin started a short-priced favourite on his racecourse bow here in February and though running well he had no answer to the promising Crash. FRISCO DEPOT attracted a little support in a huge field at Punchestown in October and ran very well to finish runner-up to Caduceus, who has won subsequently. Escudero looked all over the winner at today's trip when making his debut at Naas in February but faded inside the last couple of furlongs suggesting that this distance will be ideal.
