Verdict
Elusive Rain was well supported when landing a Cork bumper last summer but ran poorly in two subsequent runs on the Flat. Another winning bumper, MOULANE WEST, ran an excellent race behind two smart performers at Fairyhouse and gets the nod though Marvel De Cerisy was only headed close home in a huge field at Naas in February. Roaring Potter put a poor Leopardstown run behind him with a decent run at Fairyhouse and enters calculations alongside Simpatico, who was up with the pace throughout at Clonmel.
