Goulane Chosen has been running well and looked well suited by testing going when narrowly beaten at Wexford. He could do with the ground to ease and TYCOON PRINCE may have his measure. Gordon Elliott's charge has been disappointing but he's been performing at a much higher level and has dropped to a winnable mark. His stable companion Dakota Moirette, a close second in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown, has subsequently disappointed though it would be no shock to see him bounce back while Presenting Mahler can't go any lower in the ratings and the seven-times winner showed a lot more dash at Navan last time.
