Tell Us More had just over four lengths to spare over stable companion The Game Changer in a Grade 3 at Naas a week ago but the runner-up is 6lb better off and can reverse the form. Gilgamboa won a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last year and though he failed to win again he competed at a very high level throughout including a superb run when fourth in the Grand National. BALLYCASEY unseated his rider in the Aintree spectacular but has been in fine form all summer and landed a Gowran Grade 2 last month. Providing the ground doesn't ease too much he looks the one to beat.
