Maiden placed in all three maiden hurdle runs for Gordon Elliott; disappointing in a six-race chase campaign; tongue-tie failed to help on stable debut at Listowel; one positive is that Danny Mullins sticks with him. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences for the first time at the eighth attempt at the Galway festival (2m2f, good); 4lb penalty for that could prove pivotal and his overall form doesn't suggest that a follow-up is guaranteed; trainer won this race last year though. |

Three-time winner for Ian Donoghue; fine effort on second start for this stable when a 4.5l second of 19 at Galway; nudged up 3lb for that, this is a stronger race and has never won off a mark this high; career best required and would prefer easier ground. |
