PRIORS GOLD would be very interesting here if getting a run. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old has been in good form over hurdles and should have the pace for this. Eur Elusive will be the one to beat if the selection misses out having beaten a big field in a Curragh handicap last month. Nina Carberry takes the ride today. Footprint has been knocking on the door, while Ted Dolly won at Cork and Naas in June and hasn't been disgraced since. Snap Alam may have found 1m2f too far last time and is better judged on her earlier win at Wexford - she's another to consider.
