Verdict

ANKUD started favourite on his debut at Naas earlier this month and though unable to get past Cut The Rope should have come on enough to go one better. Final Decision was well beaten and is unlikely to close the gap while Smokey Putnum looks the stable's second string. Jerisk Star is one to keep an eye on as he's a half-brother to three winning bumpers in France.
