UK import Orchard Road was fourth on his first run for Gordon Elliott at Sligo and goes on the short-list here. Lady Of Portlairge won a maiden hurdle over course and distance before pulling up at Tramore while L'attesa was successful at Downpatrick in July. Game Puppeteer has been shaping with a bit more promise since going handicapping and Tramore winner Borderlinedecision is having only his sixth career start so has more scope than most. FIOSRACH (NAP) likes it here and was only beaten a neck a couple of runs ago over track and trip. He wasn't beaten far next time at Bellewstown, despite only finishing eighth, and should give backers a run for their money.
