GUIRI appreciates the hustle and bustle of racing in big fields and has performed well in a couple of big handicaps at the Punchestown Festival in the past. Elite Des Mottes never figured in a Listed event at Killarney but had won decisively on her previous start at Limerick. Bravo Team could be a player if over the spill he suffered at Kelso and its certainly interesting that the Elliott team are also represented on this occasion by Curlew Hill. The latter was a useful performer in bumpers and novice hurdles though issues have prevented him from visiting the racecourse since October 2020.
