Dr Patmassini readily puts opposition to the sword

Dr Patmassini (6/1 – 4/1), a respectable tenth on his comeback effort in a two mile six furlong Wexford hunters chase last month, always travelled with purpose for his by-now regular partner James Joyce and the towering son of Dr Massini moved through to take up the running with four fences remaining.
In truth, there was only going to be one outcome from here in with Dr Patmassini staying on stoutly to defeat Maxine O’Sullivan’s mount Cork Citizen by two lengths.
