STUZZIKINI was a bit disappointing at Fairyhouse last time but there's nothing wrong with this effort at Punchestown prior to that and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Macdermott failed to meet expectations in a bumper but he's bred to do better over obstacles and he demands respect, with Canal End another to consider.
