Bowfinger is getting on a bit to be a Willie Mullins-trained maiden but he's only ever raced on ground with plenty of give so it's possible today's going could bring about some improvement. Georges Conn looks an out-and-out stayer who will probably be suited by softer ground and fences in time but Definite Elegance should be suited by this trip after staying on over the minimum at Galway. DANCING ROE is progressing and looked as though he needed a stiffer test of stamina when beaten by Cherish The Pear over 2m4f here in May so this should suit and he's handed the vote.
