Stuzzikini looked to have a very good chance in the 3.50 at Fairyhouse yesterday. He'd been beaten almost five lengths by stablemate Sa Fureur at Punchestown and the winner went on to complete a double. BIALYSTOK was a couple of lengths behind but a bad mistake two out probably cost him second place and Willie Mullins' French import looks the one to beat. Sunchart, a smart performer on the Flat, made most to two out before fading and can be expected to make progress from that. Mon Coeur, a winning bumper, was beaten a long way into second by Diverge at Punchestown but the winner looks very useful. Razdan's second at the Galway Festival was a good effort and he's been running reasonably well on the Flat
