Verdict
Gordon Elliott has won two of the last three and can continue the sequence with ROYAL CAPTAIN, who came up against a decent performer when runner-up to Most Peculiar here in March and is unlikely to meet one of his calibre. Farewelltocheyenne didn't run badly on his debut at Ballinrobe and can improve enough to get into the frame while Bay Sly showed some progress at Limerick last month, his first start since February. Patrick Mullins' booking for the newcomer Angus Milan could be significant so the market is best watched.
