Front View won a bumper at Punchestown back in April and Cayd Boy landed a bumper at Limerick on his debut. That pair share ownership and are both preferred to a third McManus runner in Birdie Blitz. Friary Rock showed some promise at Fairyhouse on his introduction and the Cheveley Park-owned Zambezi Fix can only improve now hurdling having finished a long way behind Front View at Punchestown. But ARTHUR FONZARELLI posted a much better effort when runner-up over hurdles at Roscommon with a subsequent winner back in fourth and Henry De Bromhead’s charge looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence.
