Carrig Cathal looks best of Gordon Elliott's pair at the head of the weights though he's been climbing the ratings without winning since completing a hat-trick last summer. The 2014 Queen Alexander Stakes winner Pique Sous has had very little racing subsequently and has been running on the Flat while Lilshane is 14lb higher than his last victory a year ago and was behind today's rival Miles To Memphis at Navan last time. LACHARES is still a novice and makes his handicap debut but there was much to like about his victory over Morgan at Limerick and looks to be starting out in a handicap off a very fair mark so can complete a hat-trick. Knockraha Pylon has been chasing and can revert to hurdles on a lower mark so she has to be respected in a wide-open handicap.
