Master Otis was always in the front rank at Punchestown and looks best of the trio with experience. Stuart Crawford's bumpers are always to be feared here and Jamie Codd's booking for Fourtowns catches the eye. Derek O'Connor is on board I WONT BACK DOWN and Sam Curling's charge, who is by Champs Elysees out of a 1m1f winner, should have enough pace to go close so gets the nod. Maxi Mac Gold cost €80,000 and is a half-brother to a winning stayer on the Flat.
