Ellaat is up 6lb for scoring over 1m4f at Gowran but is probably even better at this trip. Nostra Casa landed a 1m5f handicap at Sligo in April and, after another two very good runs, scored over 2m at Thurles when conceding the runner-up 12lb. He hasn't had much racing for his age and may be capable of better. However, a chance is taken with MAKE GOOD, who was well supported in that race after a long absence but finished 12 lengths behind. A Grade 2 winner over hurdles in 2020, he was beaten less than a length into third in this race a year ago and is on a 2lb lower mark. Rain's only success came on very testing ground in France while Whatcouldhavebeen was in excellent form over timber last winter and will be better for a run over a trip too short here earlier this month. Firm Belief is on the upgrade judging by her victory over the trip at Navan though she's been hit with a 10lb rise.
