Not much to go on here and Elusive Star's form figures are flattering as his best runs have been between the flags. Quarry Rebel has been beaten a long way but CASA BAN was in touch and going easily enough when falling at Gowran. Philip Dempsey's charge attracted a bit of support that day and can gain compensation. She's All Vintage ran a bit better at Navan and her rider's claim gives her a chance while Gordon Elliott's winning point-to-pointer Immortality has been well supported in all three starts over hurdles without showing much.
