VINTAGE PROSECCO couldn't hold on to his lead when tackling 2m1f at Down Royal where he was passed on the run-in. But the remainder were 20 lengths behind and Gavin Cromwell's winning bumper can go one better. Eurotiep looked a bright prospect when landing a Punchestown bumper before chasing home the odds-on Hollow Games in a similar race at Leopardstown. His regular rider's claim is a plus while Marco Rock holds Dedanann on their run behind Heather Rocco, who runs earlier, at Limerick when I Don't Get It was a long way behind. Rocky's Howya has shown promise in heavy ground bumpers.
