Verdict
Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand here with Anytime Now and TOUCH BASE. The former has a penalty for a bumper victory and will have needed his reappearance at Ballinrobe so it's the latter who looks the one to be on. He was tackling good ground for the first time when just beaten over 2m3f here last month and looks certain to be suited by the extra. Glan Y Gors was probably undone by a mistake two out at Gowran and was going on at the finish so he rates a threat though he's carrying a penalty for his victory on the Flat over three years ago. Presentingprincess, runner-up over hurdles at Gowran last month, reverted to a bumper at Limerick last week and duly obliged so she could provide the main threat.
