Gordon Elliott will be tearing his hair out if MONBEG WORLDWIDE (NAP) fails to take advantage of this opportunity. Considering his bumper form, the six-year-old has been a tad disappointing so far over hurdles but he probably needed the run at Tipperary last month. Gigginstown have three in this including the selection’s stablemate Monition, who has shown promise, and Joseph O’Brien’s Denwork. The latter surprisingly reverted to bumpers after finishing third at Thurles in February but still has time of his side. Rock Road was flattered by his proximity to Fayonagh at Fairyhouse in October of last year and is having his first run in more than 12 months. Getaway Kid looks best of the rest.
