PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Drawn N Drank would be a most deserving winner of this race following four consecutive second-placed finishes, however he comes up against a very progressive individual here in FENNOS STORM who goes in search of his fourth straight success. There may not be a lot separating Art Of Logistics and Free Of Charge on their Punchestown for, however the former disappointed in very testing conditions at Borris House subsequently.
