Verdict

Gordon Elliott has won two of the last three and Thisonesforollie can take a hand having found an extra two furlongs taxing her stamina at Downpatrick last week. AQUARIAN, who finished almost upsides in the race, was staying on best of all after being held up and with more forcing tactics can reverse the form and take this. Grey Mountain Mist scored over fences at Limerick last week and can revert to hurdles on a 9lb lower mark so has to be a major threat. Redwood Boy was returning from a break when creating a 33/1 shock at Clonmel last week so should have come on for the run and is only 4lb higher while Authorative is better than recent form figures suggest and can go well at a fair price.
