CONVINCING did well to finish as close as did when when third in the Naas handicap won by Capital Theory recently and he is appealing with Shane Foley back in the hot-seat. Another who caught the eye last time was Zuzukel, who fared best of those ridden prominently in a similar, big-field C&D contest. Stormie Outlook is likely to be in the mix, along with the hat-trick seeking Syzygy.
