Youghal By The Sea has decent form in the book on his three starts since joining Gordon Elliott and must be a leading player on his return to action. However, he has been off the track for not too far short of 300 days and STORM RISING is a perfectly viable alternative. The Hogan gelding has posted cracking efforts the last twice, goes well on the ground and seems sure to be involved at the business end again. He's been beaten by a couple of useful sorts recently and looks on the improve. Due Reward showed improved form last time and should progress while any newcomer from the Willie Mullins yard must be afforded close inspection, which brings Kaatskill Nap into the equation, the son of Rip Van Winkle having scored on the Flat for David Menuisier.
