Verdict

Gagas Horse won nicely at Limerick last time but is giving weight to a couple of younger rivals. Los Alamos scored easily at Punchestown but he, too, concedes weight to the filly TADHGS GIRL. Gordon Elliott’s charge made a promising start when second at Clonmel and a conditional’s 5lb allowance further helps her cause. Corella Creek was last of 16 in a bumper back in 2015 but has won a couple of point-to-points this year and the newcomer Laoch Liam is the first foal of Grangeclare Gold, who won five times over hurdles.
