Lisa O'Neill rides most of Gordon Elliott's bumpers nowadays, plenty of them winners, and was on board when the stable's Batts Rock landed the odds over this trip at Bellewstown earlier this month. That was her mount's first start for the yard since transferring from the UK and a 6lb rise doesn't look excessive. With Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh now retired, Jody Townend has been making the most of her opportunities, as she did on MINNIE DAHILL at Bellewstown. Ted Walsh's filly, who had been going well over hurdles, scored easily over that 2m1f trip and her rider will ensure there's no hanging around. Dasmyhoss didn't run badly at Killarney on Wednesday though may need a bit further but Crafted Jewel has never raced over a trip this far. Breathe Easy, runner-up a year ago, has won four times around here but always over shorter.
