Verdict
Plenty of these arrive in top form and Gordon Elliott wouldn't be running the four-year-old Tramore maiden winner Faux Fur unless thought capable of a big run on her handicap debut. The stable also run Sea Aster, another Tramore maiden winner and conceding 15lb when narrowly beaten by Costanuci at Listowel. She comes out best at the weights here though More Info was value for more than her three-length victory over 2m7f here a couple of weeks ago and should make a bold bid to follow up. The handicapper may have erred on the side of leniency when raising ATIMETODREAM 11lb after a very impressive victory at Listowel and she looks the type to go on to better things.
