In depth
Verdict
Gordon Elliott has three entries but Davy Russell's presence suggests Get Out The Gate, a recent acquisition from Jim Goldie, could be on a fair mark though he's even better handicapped over fences. Ballymacaw ploughed through the Limerick mud to land a maiden on his first start over this trip so any further rain would be greatly to his advantage. Cusp Of Carabelli is very consistent and scored from this mark over fences in November so is greatly respected but OSCAR ACADEMY looks a cracking acquisition for Gavin Cromwell. A dual point-to-point winner in Ireland, he moved to Olly Murphy and won easily over timber at Leicester and Fakenham before taking his chance in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham where he was in the front rank until 2 out so he doesn't look badly treated for his handicap debut.
