Verdict
Gordon Elliott has TRENDELENBURG in such impressive form that a hat-trick looks on the cards. Last week's success at Limerick has invoked an 8lb rise from the handicapper but he's the type that just does enough and he looks capable of defying the extra. Prince Of Forwards bounced right back to form at Punchestown last month, eventually only succumbing to Turner Brown by half-a-length. A 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big effort now that he's back on song, while Lascalahall also came back to his best when a close third to Drive On Jim at Fairyhouse and can be given a chance. Hoochie Mama had the veteran Lasquini Du Moulin behind when a good third at Thurles three weeks ago, though that form doesn't look quite good enough against this opposition.
