A trappy finale, with 3-y-o MISCHIEF MAN getting the narrow vote in the hope the application of sterner headgear has the desired effect on the back of his respectable Cork third 6 weeks ago. Gallo Dell Cielo, Maxwell Smart and Navan scorer Share The Treasure are a trio of others fancied to be in the shake-up.
