The four-year-old Ellipsism has been very inconsistent but would have a definite chance on his victories at Kilbeggan and Clonmel. UNE LAVANDIERE could hardly have been more impressive when scoring at Tramore and though 12lb higher his rider's claim takes care of more than half so a double looks on the cards. Frankly All Talk has to be a threat as he's been in excellent form over fences and reverts to hurdles on a 20lb lower mark. Se Mo Laoch took advantage of a much lower hurdles mark on heavy ground at Fairyhouse and is another looking well handicapped over timber while Life Isfor Living came close to losing his maiden tag over 3m on testing ground here last month.
