Gordon Elliott runs SMOOTH PLAYER, penalised for a bumper victory, and the four-year-old Golden Nugget, who'll be carrying a feather weight with her rider's claim taken into account. The former has Michael O'Sullivan's claim to aid his cause and his latest narrow defeat at Navan might be good enough. Law Ella also carries extra for her bumper success and she showed her liking for the trip when runner-up at Punchestown where she had the disappointing Crumb Of Comfort, who had run much better at Fairyhouse earlier, well behind. Ottizzini only weakened from the last in a Listed contest at Punchestown and should be winning soon.
