Stuccodor has become very frustrating since landing the Irish Lincoln in 2014 and even managed to get beaten at long odds-on at Fairyhouse a year ago. His second to Thomas Hobson at Galway in July was his best run over timber and he likes heavy ground but may have to settle for a place again behind another Willie Mullins entry in UNION DUES. It's just over three years ago that he landed a Grade 2 bumper at Navan and he hasn't been seen since a very easy victory on the Flat at the 2013 Galway Festival. But he wouldn't be making a comeback unless thought capable of making up for lost time. Lift The Latch started odds-on for his debut between the flags at Lemonfield in March 2014 and duly obliged. He's been entered several times in recent weeks so will be fit enough and is one to keep an eye on, as is Gordon Elliott's expensive newcomer Wolfslair.
